Didbrook was an [[ancient parish]], which became a civil parish in 1866. The parish included the township of [[Pinnock and Hyde]], a large [[detached part]] high on the Cotswolds.  Pinnock and Hyde became a separate civil parish in 1866. On 1 April 1935 the civil parish of Didbrook was abolished, and most of it was absorbed into the parish of [[Stanway, Gloucestershire|Stanway]]. A smaller part was absorbed into the parish of [[Toddington, Gloucestershire|Toddington]].<ref>{{cite vob|name=Didbrook AP/CP | url=https://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/unit/10369630 | accessdate=5 September 2020}}</ref>
The parish church of St George dates back to the 13th century. It was partly rebuilt about 1475 by William Whitchurch, the last abbot of [[Hailes Abbey]], and has been little changed since then. It is now a [[Grade I listed building]].<ref>{{National Heritage List for England|num=1091804|desc=Church of St George|access-date=5 September 2020}}</ref>
