Tredington is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Stoke Orchard near Tewkesbury, in the Tewkesbury district, in the county of Gloucestershire, England. The village has a church[1] and a school.[2] In 1931 the parish had a population of 92.[3]
The little church of St John the Baptist in Tredington is known for its wooden tower, a twelfth-century architectural plan, medieval stone benches, and the fossil of an ichthyosaurus displayed upon the floor of its porch.[4] The steps, base and shaft of the churchyard cross are fourteenth century; the cross is modern.[5]
History
The village was a member of the Confraternity of Burton Lazars, a mediaeval order devoted to the care of lepers, near Melton Mowbray.[6] The father of the musician Thomas Tomkins was incumbent of the church from 1594 to 1609.[7]
On 1 April 1935 the parish of Tredington was merged with Stoke Orchard,[8] part also went to Tewkesbury.[9]
Education
The village school opened in 1880,[10] and is located halfway between Tredington and Stoke Orchard in order to serve both communities. Tredington Primary School, as it is now known, is a small community school serving the villages of Tredington, Stoke Orchard, Elmstone-Hardwicke, Walton Cardiff, Uckington and Bishop's Cleeve. In 2005 it had 61 students aged 4–11.[11] On 1 September 2020, the school converted to academy status and became part of the Gloucestershire Learning Alliance.[12] Since then, the school has benefited from wider funding provision from GLA and modern EYFS phonics practices supported via Mangotsfield School English Hub. The school received a strong 'Good' report from the most recent OFSTED inspection.[13] Most children leaving this school move on to Cleeve School in Bishop's Cleeve, an establishment with a larger population (over 1000 pupils) than the villages served by Tredington School.
