The latter affords visitors beautiful views of the Warwickshire countryside from a raised vantage point, over 600 ft above sea level.

Hidcote Bartrim is named in the Domesday Book (1086), where it was held by the church of St Mary of Evesham.

Much of Hidcote Bartrim's lands were on the escarpment and to the south east of this settlement is a hollow way that heads eastwards up onto Ebrington Hill.

Three weeks later Lawrence Johnston, acting on behalf of his mother, agreed to purchase the estate from John Tucker for £7,200.

‘Boyce’ may refer to a record of a de Bois family,[9] whilst ‘Bartrim’ may be a corruption of ‘Bertram’,[10] a known English name.

Approximately 15% of the population are concerned with academic or educational output, making this the most significant sector in the village, comprising arts, science and humanities in roughly equal share.

Tourism, retail and agriculture make up close to 100% of the village's income, although textiles form a small yet important element of local trade.

Traffic in the village can be unusually congested for a settlement of this size, due to high visitor numbers at the two nearby gardens.

By foot, the Monarch's Way can bring visitors to the village either from the north via Admington or from the south via Chipping Campden.

It is believed that these properties occupy an inalienable status, meaning that under the current National Trust regulations, they may not be sold.

The ethnic make-up of the population is, as of April 2018, as follows: Deer, foxes, badgers, squirrels, rabbits and other small mammals are common sights in Hidcote Bartrim, as well as frogs and a large variety of birds, including at least one pair of red kites.

An invasive species of ant, Lasius neglectus, is also present, which is frequently described as a pest by residents and has been identified as a major fire risk.
