Lypiatt is a small village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Miserden, in the Stroud district, in Gloucestershire, England, approximately 4 miles (6 km) east of Stroud.
The parish was formed from Stroud in 1894, later in 1894 the parish was abolished to form "Bisley with Lypiatt".[1]
The parish is noted for two historic houses:
- Lypiatt Park, of medieval origins,[2] home of the late Modernist sculptor Lynn Chadwick and his family
- a neo-Classical manor house, Nether Lypiatt Manor,[3] formerly the home of Violet Gordon-Woodhouse and Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, who sold in 2006 to Paul Drayson.
