Staple Hill, Gloucestershire history

---

Staple is a rendering of the Anglo-Saxon/Old English word stapol or staypole. The settlement of Staple Hill developed in the 19th century. It was a hamlet in the ancient parish of Mangotsfield.

Development of the suburb and community

The modern settlement of Staple Hill originated in the 18th century by when forest law had become largely anachronistic and the wild boar and wolves which once made the forest dangerous were long since extinct. Expansion of the settlement was facilitated after 1888 when the Midland Railway opened a railway station, giving direct access to Bristol and Gloucester. The station closed in 1966.
