Household composition
A broad view of household types in this constituency. Project Open Gov uses the four broad groups supplied by the Commons Library so the presentation remains consistent across the UK.
41,919 householdsCensus 2021
One-person households29.9% · 12,551 households
Families with dependent children25.5% · 10,701 households
Other single-family households41.4% · 17,352 households
Other household types3.1% · 1,315 households
Household-composition figures come from the Commons Library constituency dataset. The source uses census data and Project Open Gov displays its broad household groups rather than attempting to harmonise the detailed categories itself. View household-composition source ↗
Disability and day-to-day activities
The source records whether day-to-day activities are limited and uses separate person-level tables for England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
96,021 people in the source baseCensus 2021Source comparison: England & Wales
Day-to-day activities limited a lot6.4% · 6,175 people
Day-to-day activities limited a little10.9% · 10,492 people
Not disabled under the Equality Act82.6% · 79,354 people
Comparison note: the workbook uses different source terminology across the UK: England & Wales uses “Disabled under the Equality Act”, while Scotland and Northern Ireland use “Disabled” / “Non-disabled”. Project Open Gov therefore preserves the source categories and does not present them as one single like-for-like UK legal definition.
Disability figures come from the Commons Library constituency workbook. This profile uses the person-level tables only; the workbook also contains separate household-level disability tables which are not used here. View disability source ↗

The Rose and Crown Inn, Nympsfield: Rescuing 340 Years of Cotswold Heritage
Nympsfield Community Pub Limited
£208,273
The National Lottery Heritage Fund · Heritage
About this award
Our vision is to secure the future of the Rose & Crown Inn (c.1756) as a vibrant, community-owned heritage asset once again serving as the heartbeat of Nympsfield. We will execute a conservation-led restoration to transform this "building at risk" into a sustainable multi-purpose hub. By reinstating the Inn with a community cafe, village shop and traditional pub, we will create an inclusive social space that tackles rural isolation. Our goal is to transition from a "rescue group" to a resilient long-term steward, ensuring the building’s 340-year history is preserved and shared. We will install a permanent Heritage Display and digital archive to connect residents and visitors with the Inn’s storied past. We aspire to create a model for heritage-led rural regeneration that is carbon-conscious, financially self-sufficient, and accessible to all - preserving our historic pub not just as a building, but as a living community institution.
