• Illustration — Bee Shelter at St Mary's Church The village has several interesting buildings including the former home of the Canning family, Hartpury House, now part of the college. Hill House, also known as The Hill, is a large timber-framed house which contains a sixteenth-century oak staircase and several plaster ceilings of the same period. The village hall was built in 2013 and won a design award from the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE). There is a bee shelter in the churchyard. Built development in Hartpury mainly fronts the A417 highway and the roads that join it with some more recent consolidation around small newer schemes. Hartpury has experienced steady growth, with the majority of the housing being post 1950s, comprising mainly detached two-storey red brick dwellings. There remain some older cottages dotted around the settlement and the village is adjoined by fields, orchards and open areas.
