Background

History

Abenhall was an ancient parish which included the more populous settlement of Plump Hill, and was once part of the Hundred of St Briavels (known as Dene at the time of the Domesday Book in 1086). On 1 April 1935, Abenhall parish was abolished and merged with Mitcheldean. In 1931, at the last national census before the parish was abolished, Abenhall parish had a population of 230.
