Woodmancote and Bishop's Cleeve were once served by a railway line that divides the two parishes.

It was created on 1 June 1906 by the Great Western Railway which ran from Stratford-upon-Avon and finished at Cheltenham.

A 12-mile stretch of the track has been reconstructed through Woodmancote which has been reopened and is now preserved as heritage of the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway.

A larger, six-classroom primary school was built by the County Council in 1972 on Station Road.
