Wotton, Gloucester — Area Guide & Where to Stay

What are the main landmarks in Wotton?

Six entries make Wotton's register, and five of them are houses: Hillfield House, The Old House, Wotton House, Claremont House and St Nicholas House. The Church of St Catharine is the sixth. Its dedication is the only ecclesiastical name on the list, and the rest of the suburb's record is domestic, a run of listed frontages rather than public buildings.

Wotton House carries the suburb's own name. London Road, the Royal Hospital and Gloucester's railway station stand close by, so the six listed entries can be taken in one circuit from the city centre.

What is the history of Wotton?

Wotton has no charter year on record, and its history reads through its listed houses instead, Hillfield House, The Old House, Claremont House and St Nicholas House among them. The church anchors the older layer. Church of St Catharine carries the one dedication, and Wotton House keeps the suburb's name attached to a building rather than to a parish boundary.

Administration paired it with Kingsholm. The two make a single electoral ward inside Gloucester, in Gloucestershire, and Wotton sits close to the city centre, the Royal Hospital, the railway station and London Road.
