Brockworth, Administrative division in Tewkesbury, England

Brockworth extends across a section of Gloucestershire, positioned 3 miles northeast of Gloucester city with a population exceeding 9,400 residents in 2021.

The settlement originated around 600 AD following the Battle of Dyrham, with its name derived from Saxon words 'broc' for brook and 'wurthin' for enclosure.

St George's Church, constructed in 1142, stands as the oldest structure in the village, representing centuries of religious and architectural heritage.

The village maintains connections to Gloucester and Cheltenham through regular public transportation services, making it accessible for both residents and visitors.

The Gloster Aircraft Company's facility in Brockworth achieved distinction by conducting the first test flight of Britain's turbo-jet engine aircraft in 1941.
