From the Wikipedia article
Dumbleton is a village and civil parish in the Tewkesbury district, in the county of Gloucestershire, England. The village is roughly 20 miles from the city of Gloucester. The village is known to have existed in the time of Æthelred I who granted land to Abingdon Abbey, and it is mentioned in the Domesday Book. Dumbleton is on the edge of Dumbleton Hill, a foothill of the Cotswolds and is within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Dumbleton is mainly residential with facilities including a Village Hall from 1899, a successful Cricket Club (National Village Cup Winners 2022), a Social Club, Garden Club, Infants’ School (temporarily closed as of September 2022) and an Estate Office. The village also contains the main entrance to Dumbleton Hall, which now functions as a hotel. The civil parish includes the village of Great Washbourne which was a separate civil parish until 1935. From 1935 to 2023 Wormington was also part of Dumbleton until the parish was split following a Community Governance Review.

Background
Description
The origin and development over the years of the Old Rectory is still subject to debate. The home as it stands was constructed in the 17th century. It is divided into two wings, north and south. The south wing incorporates a 16th-century timber-framed house with detailed decorative patterning. A blocked window at the rear of the house has a painted trompe-l'œil of another window from which the Revd. Charles Cocks is seen looking out. His likeness was copied from a painting found in Eastnor Castle. The trompe l'oeil painting was painted by artists Roy Amiss and Benoit Gardner. Both the north and south portions of the Old Rectory are Grade II listed by English Heritage.
