Seven miles down the old Gloucester to Bristol Roman road, now the A38, is the village of Whitminster from which a twisting lane leads to the church and Whitminster House, sitting on the banks of the River Frome. Known to the Saxons as Wheatenhurst (Hwita = a personal name of the local chieftain; hurst = a clearing), over time the name became corrupted to Whitnester or Whitmister until finally in the 16th or 17th century to Whitminster. However, the use of Wheatenhurst persisted and either or both names were used up to the mid 20th century but in 1945 Whitminster was used as the official name for the hamlet.
