Stonehouse is a small town and ward in the district of Stroud, in Gloucestershire, set in the valley of the River Frome and beside parts of the historic Stroudwater Navigation. It sits conveniently between Gloucester and Stroud with easy links to the M5, and its position on the edge of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty gives a pleasing mix of market‑town convenience and surrounding countryside.
The town grew up around the cloth and mill industries of the 18th and 19th centuries, and you can still see canal structures and former mill buildings among newer housing and business parks. Today Stonehouse combines light industry and commuter living with active local clubs and community events, giving it a character that blends industrial heritage with ongoing suburban development.
