Whitminster is a small village and civil parish in the district of Stroud, Gloucestershire, England, historically known as Wheatenhurst. It sits in the Severn Vale on the edge of the Cotswolds, with a landscape of arable fields, hedgerows and a scattering of older farmhouses that reflect its medieval and post‑medieval agricultural roots.
Today the community remains largely rural - farming still matters, alongside a commuter element thanks to easy access to the M5 and nearby market towns such as Stroud and Gloucester. The village retains a parish church, village hall and pub, several listed buildings that speak to its past, and an active local life of clubs and events that keeps the community close‑knit.
