Barton is a village in Gloucestershire, on the River Windrush, near Naunton. It appears in written records as Berton as early as 1287.[2] The manor was acquired by the Knights Templar of Temple Guiting; in 1558 it was held by Maurice Rodney.[3] In 1779 it was recorded as consisting of 7 houses and 44 inhabitants.[4] At the beginning of the nineteenth century the manor was held by William Raikes of London and John Inglett-Fortescue of Dawlish, Devon.[3]
