Hampnett

Hampnett is a small village and civil parish in Gloucestershire, England, just west of the Fosse Way.

It is situated west of the junction of the A40 and A429 roads in the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

[3] There is some evidence of Roman settlement in the area: a bronze statue of Hercules, now in the Cheltenham museum, was found during excavations in the parish.

[4] In 1086, Domesday Book listed 25 tenants in the parish including a priest, at which time it was held by Eldred, Archbishop of York, who had bought it from Earl Godwin in 1061.

Between 1868 and 1871, the incumbent, Rev W Wiggins, had the interior walls stencilled in a colourful medieval style.
