Brockworth, Administrative division in Tewkesbury, England
Brockworth is a civil parish and village in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, situated northeast of Gloucester. The settlement combines residential areas with open green spaces and is defined by its historic church and rural character.
The settlement took shape around the 7th century following the Battle of Dyrham, with its name derived from Saxon words meaning 'brook in an enclosure'. St. George's Church, built in the 1100s, marked the place as an established community.
St. George's Church has shaped the village center since the 1100s and continues to serve as a focal point for the local community. The structure reflects how religious sites anchor the identity of small English villages and their everyday rhythms.
The village has regular bus connections to nearby Gloucester and Cheltenham, making it accessible without a car. Visitors can easily explore the church, green spaces, and local center on foot.
An aircraft factory operated in the village and conducted the first test flight of a turbo-jet powered plane in 1941. This surprising industrial chapter connects the quiet rural settlement to British aviation breakthroughs.
