VILLAGE HISTORY
Bisley has a thriving local history group, whose website can be found here and their Facebook page here.

The village Facebook page often carries fascinating pictures from days gone by, together with interesting historical information.

There's an interesting and quite detailed potted history of the village, taken from the 1976 book
A History of the County of Gloucester: Volume 11, Bisley and Longtree Hundreds, here.

Meanwhile, click on this link for a 1985 BBC film in which Bisley is featured, and enjoy these photographs from days of yore (and thank you to Roger Carnt and Heather Collins at
Chalford Parish Local History Group, and the Mike Mills Collection, for many of them):
