Hardwicke is a village on the A38 road some 4 miles / 7 km south of the city of Gloucester, Gloucestershire, England. Despite its proximity to Gloucester, the village comes under Stroud Council. The population of the village taken at the United Kingdom Census 2011 was 3,901.With its name deriving from the Old English heorde wic, herd [tending] settlement, farming is still the major industry of the parish. Hardwicke was once renowned for its cider and cheese, this may have led to its survival during the battle for Gloucester in the Civil War – neither side wanted to damage a source of much appreciated sustenance. Though there is a typical village green and pond on Green Lane, along with some of the village's oldest cottages, there was never a distinct centre to the village and other parts have a distinct Victorian feel. Added to this are the newer developments of the 1970s and 1980s, which have gradually become contiguous with the Quedgeley district of Gloucester to the north. The village had three pubs, 'The Pilot' 'The Cross Keys' 'The Morning Star' next door to 'The Starting Gate' . The latter has now closed and been refitted and opened as a convenience store in 2015 There is also a branch of The Royal British Legion, a village hall and a shop. In the centre of the village is the Hardwicke Parochial School, a Church of England school that teaches children from the ages of four to eleven.
