Ancient Parish [25]
Batsford was partly in Gloucestershire (Kiftsgate Hundred) and partly in Worcestershire (Oswaldslow Hundred). In 1896 the civil parish was made entirely Gloucestershire. In 1887, Batsford gained Moreton in Marsh chapel from Bourton on the Hill Ancient Parish, hence thereafter it was called "Batsford with Moreton in Marsh" Ecclesiastical Parish.
