Staverton lies 4 miles north-east of Gloucester. The land has been used mainly for arable farming and the greater part of it lay in open fields until enclosure in 1803, the Manor was owned by Deerhurst Priory until the Dissolution after which the land was held by mainly freeholders; it was said to be good for corn but not for meadow. Orchards were a prominent feature around the houses but by the 1960`s most were no longer in cultivation. Part of the village was called Reynolds Tenements in 1387. The road running north-east to Cheltenham existed by the C14th for by 1325 a bridge had been built over the Hatherley Brook to replace the ford. The oldest surviving house in the village, called 'Old Manor' is a timber-framed house next to the church in the mid-19th century the house was converted to two cottages but in 1964 it was again restored to a single house. Other buildings near the church date from the C19th, they include Staverton House a large stuccoed house of the early C19th; Lower Court Farm, south east of the church, probably dates from the C17th. There was a church here by 1297, the Church of St.Catherine (formally called St.John the Baptist) is of stone and brick with a Cotswold stone roof, the proportions and position of the tower give the church an unusual appearance. The tower has undergone considerable alterations, the battlements date from 1712, the church was restored between 1879 & 1885.
