The Manor of Hartpury was given by Offa, King of Mercia, to the Abbey of Gloucester in about 760 AD. The Benedictines of Gloucester were granted the manor in about 1022 AD and after the Norman conquest were responsible for the church. By the end of the 16th century, they had established a mansion, known as Abbot’s Court, or Place, near St Mary’s Church as a country residence for the Abbots of Gloucester.
