    Bishop's Cleeve is a village located 3 miles north of Cheltenham in Gloucestershire, England. It lies at the foot of Cleeve Hill, the highest point in the Cotswolds. The village has existed since 780 AD and remains from the Iron Age and Roman occupation have been found. In the 9th century, the village became known as Bishop's Cleeve when the monastery and its property were granted to the Bishop of Worcester. The population in 1851 was 745. Bishop's Cleeve has grown in recent years to accommodate workers at a nearby aerospace factory and with new housing developments, nearly doubling its size, though it retains some historic buildings dating back to the 12th and 13th centuries.
