Lypiatt is a small village in Gloucestershire, approximately four miles east of Stroud.

The parish is noted for two historic houses:

  • Lypiatt Park, of mediæval origins,[1] home of the late Modernist sculptor Lynn Chadwick and his family
  • Nether Lypiatt Manor, a neo-Classical manor house,[2] formerly the home of Violet Gordon-Woodhouse and of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, who sold the house in 2006.
