Sherborne is a village and civil parish almost 3.5 miles (5.6 km) east of Northleach in Gloucestershire.

Coenwulf of Mercia, who reigned from AD 796 to 821, is credited with giving the manor of Sherborne to Winchcombe Abbey.

[4] In 1624–40 John Dutton acquired land 2 miles (3.2 km) southwest of the village to create a deer park.

[11] Sherborne House is converted into privately owned apartments and is not open to the public.

More than half of the parish was farmed under an open field system until 1777, when the common lands were enclosed.

[4] The farmhouse at Stones Farm at the east end of Sherborne village was designed by Richard Pace and built in 1818.

[4] Sherborne still has a village shop and tea room[13] which incorporates an outreach Post Office.
