[2] The village's parish church of St Mary's was designed by Samuel Sanders Teulon.

The nearby Woodchester Mansion is regularly open to the public and stands in a landscaped valley.

The car park is at Nympsfield near Coaley Peak, not at Woodchester as some visitors suppose.

Education is provided by the Woodchester Endowed C of E Primary School under Headteacher Mrs Pennington, which serves around 135 pupils.

Following the Ofsted inspection in 2018, the school was rated Outstanding, point four on a four-point scale.
