[1] It is in the parish of Miserden, a village about 2 miles east of The Camp.

Calf Way is thought to be a Roman road, presumably named for the cattle driven along it.

One of Neolithic barrows was opened in around 1720, and contained the skulls and skeletons of eight bodies.

[3] Another barrow was opened a few years later – this one contained human bones and an urn, and was assumed to be Roman (the village is not far from Ermin Street, one of the great Roman roads).

Over the years, there have been a number of businesses in the village, some serving locals, and others finding customers further afield: the New Inn was the village pub until the 20th century; the village had a bakery; a quarry supplied roof tiles to the region; there were a number of farms; a motorbike garage servicing classic bikes; and there is still a thriving riding school.
