Standish is a small village and civil parish in the Stroud local government
district in Gloucestershire, England.The village is 5 kilometres (3.1
mi) north-west of Stroud, on the B4008 road to Quedgeley. The parish,
which in the 2001 census had a population of 285, also contains the hamlet
of Stroud Green, situated south-east of Standish village.[1]Originally
part of the estate of the Baron's Sherborne of Gloucestershire, they developed
Standish Court as part of their holdings. Abandoned in the 16th century,
they then developed Standish House as a country retreat. Having sold Standish
Wood to the National Trust, they sold Standish Park and Stadish House
to Gloucestershire County Council post-World War I,[2] on which they developed
Standish Hospital, which was immediately passed to the British Red Cross
for treatment of soldiers.
