Dumbleton is a village and civil parish in the Tewkesbury district, in the county of Gloucestershire, England.
The village is known to have existed in the time of Æthelred I who granted land to Abingdon Abbey, and it is mentioned in the Domesday Book.
Inside St Peter's Church is a memorial to their relative, Arctic explorer Gino Watkins.
A large painted monument dedicated to Sir Charles Percy son of the Earl of Northumberland and Dorothy Cocks, his wife, is also to be found within the church.
The colourful monument of two figures kneeling over their deceased child is situated within a deep round-headed niche flanked by free-standing Corinthian columns.
[11] Both the north and south portions of the Old Rectory are Grade II listed by English Heritage.
After the death of Sir Richard Cocks in the late 18th century, the Hall fell into disrepair and was eventually demolished.
During the Second World War, the Hall was allegedly considered as a suitable alternative venue for the House of Lords.
