Preston is a village, former manor, civil and ecclesiastical parish in the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire, England.

[4] To the immediate west of the church is Preston Court, a grade II* listed timber-framed manor house dating from about 1600,[5] in 2020 operating as "The Country House Collection" antique shop.

[citation needed] In 1541, following the Dissolution of the Monasteries, it was granted as part of the endowment of the newly established See of Gloucester, the new Bishops of Gloucester using the old Abbey Church as their Cathedral.

In 1583 the bishop of Gloucester leased the manor to the Crown, and in 1585 Queen Elizabeth I granted it to Fulke Greville, 1st Baron Brooke whose present day relative, author Christopher Brooke Fulke Greville has included the property in his book 'Englands Great Baronial Families'.

A country house, Preston Court, was built in the late 16th or early 17th century.
