Dorsington is a village and civil parish in the Stratford-on-Avon district, in the county of Warwickshire, England. Dorsington was in Gloucestershire until 1931, when it was transferred to Warwickshire.[1] It is located 2¾ miles west of Milcote railway station.[2] The place-name 'Dorsington' is first attested in an Anglo-Saxon charter of 710, where it appears as Dorsintone. It is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Dorsintune. The name means 'the town or settlement of Deorsige's people'.[3] In the 2001 census, it had a population of 138 (64 males; 74 females; living in 49 houses).[4] By the 2011 Census, the population had increased to 150.[5] The parish church of St Peter's is a Grade II* listed building built in 1764-1768.[6] Dorsington was the original centre of the Heart of England Forest, begun by the businessman and philanthropist Felix Dennis.
