Cutsdean is a rural village in the Cotswolds and smaller than average sized parish, a few miles east north-east of Cheltenham, Gloucestershire and the same distance south-southeast of Evesham. The River Windrush runs through the village.
The key estates of this 1,560-acre (6.3km2) chapelry of Bredon parish,[2] can be traced a generation or more further than typical, back to Anglo-Saxon England charters.[3] Its main estate and church were long possessions of the Worcester Priory,[4] and were part of Worcestershire until 1931, when the detached part (exclave) status was resolved, and it was moved to Gloucestershire.[5] Its population was 116, across 30 households in 1901; both figures stood in 1911, unchanged.[5]
Dammed river with lily pads and algae, lined by deciduous trees
The west of the parish is marked by the Windrush. It has been briefly dammed, creating a tree-lined head of water, assisting the flow below in dry weather, also allowing for some algae which help to feed fish and de-nitrify the river in its rural, relatively headwater stage.
