Bulley is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Churcham, in the Forest of Dean district, in Gloucestershire, almost 7 miles (11 km) west of the city of Gloucester and about 1 mile (1.6 km) north of the village of Churcham. In 1931 the parish had a population of 134. [1]
The Church of England parish church of St Michael and All Angels has been a dependent chapelry of St Andrew's parish church, Churcham since at least AD 1100. [2] Both St Andrew's and St Michael's are now members of the Forest Edge group of churches. [3]
St Michael's building is Norman. [4] A Perpendicular Gothic window on the south side of the nave is a fifteenth-century addition. [5] In 1886 the building was restored under the direction of the architect Sidney Gambier-Parry. [4] The church is a Grade I listed building. [5]
Bulley has had a long association with Churcham. When a parish school was founded for Churcham and Bulley in 1856 it was built at Bulley. [6] Under the Local Government Act 1894 Bulley was made a separate civil parish, but on 1 April 1935 it was merged with Churcham. [7] [8]
