Whitminster is a village and civil parish in the Stroud district, in Gloucestershire, England, on the A38 trunk road approximately 6 miles (10 km) south of Gloucester and 6 miles (10 km) north-west of Stroud.

Wheatenhurst manor, with Whitminster House and the parish church of St Andrew, lies about 1 mile (2 km) to the west of the modern village.

[3] The manor was originally known as Wheatenhurst—the name changed officially in 1945—and was recorded in the Domesday Book in 1086 as Witenhert.

[5] The name was corrupted to Whitnester and then Whitmister, and by the 17th century evolved by popular etymology to Whitminster.

[8] It later passed to the de Bohun family, as part of their large landholdings in the west of England.
