Local Heritage

​The King George V Memorial Hall was opened in 1937 with a message of goodwill from King George VI. It was built on donated land and over half the building costs was covered by donations; the remainder being raised through membership fees of 2s 6d (12.5p) and charges to use the facilities. It was extended in 1975 and again in 1998. 

Rangeworthy was once part of the Royal Kingswood Forest which stretched from the River Severn to the Cotswold escarpment until the trees were cleared in the 13th century to create pastureland, primarily for grazing sheep. The first known mention of Ryngeworth (Rangeworthy) was 1303. The Earl of Gloucester, Hugh de Audley, held the manor of Rangeworthy in 1348 but it changed hands many times and it was the Hale family who were responsible for building a manor house at the end of the 16th century which forms the core of the current Rangeworthy Court.
