CLICK FOR 2021 CENSUS DATAIntroduction
Forthampton is a beautiful, rural village on the west bank of the River Severn, opposite Tewkesbury. It was named in the Domesday Book as Forthelmetone, meaning “the farmstead associated with Forthelme”, who was a Saxon thegn. Until Thomas Telford’s “Mythe Bridge” was opened in 1826 access to the village from Tewkesbury was via the ferries at Upper and Lower Lode. The village is part of the Forthampton estate and the centre is now a conservation area.
