Arthur Bullock, who was born in Longhope in 1899, described its location as follows: The parish occupies the most easterly valley in the group of hills which lie between the Severn and the Wye.

The arms of William III hang above the door and lower parts of the four-stage west tower are late Norman, as is one window.

Another house of historic interest is Royal Spring, where Charles I is said to have stopped for refreshment in 1642 after the Battle of Powick Bridge during the English Civil War.

He also records that later 'Mrs Wright opened another general shop and news agency, and Mr C. Powell built a village hall which he called Latchen Room.

[6] The village also had more than its fair share of eccentrics, including the churchwarden and builder 'Feyther Field',[7] who apparently would ride along on a bicycle carrying a ladder.

[8] However, he was full of admiration for the quality of education the pupils received from the schoolmaster and schoolmistress, Mr and Mrs Hill.

[10] Longhope won the double as champions of North Gloucestershire Division Three and Cup winners in the season of 1949/50 captained by club legend Gerald Wyman.

Longhope again won the North Gloucestershire Division Three league and cup double in the 2000/2001 Season, managed by Malcolm Stock and captained by Tracy Clark.

The match was very competitive and was eventually won by the current club side, managed by Sam Hurst and captained by Steven Clark [12] The club's most recent success was winning the 2020-2021 George Sandoe Cup with a 2–1 victory over Ellwood, managed by Robert Clark and captained by Rhys Gardner.

The bus stop opposite Pound Cottage on The Latchen was converted into a local information hub for villagers and visitors to use.

It includes a village map highlighting local businesses, societies and clubs alongside their contact information.
