Hardwicke
is an ancient village
south of Gloucester.
Its name is derived from "Herd
- wick",
a village with herds of sheep or
cows.
Nowadays
most of our parishioners live
on the housing estates to the
north of the Church.

Elmore

to the River Severn, the major building
in this
community is Elmore Court,

the economy is still based on
farming with newer arrivals
