The population of Naunton in 2000 was 371,[1] which fell to 352 at the 2011 census.[2]
Once a farming community with the usual supporting trades, it had moved towards being a dormitory community by the turn of the second millennium.[1] It has had no shops since 1999. Despite spiralling property prices, community activity remains.[1] The village has a parish council with five members. Local associations include clubs for music, for cricket, and for golf and tennis.[3] The village hall was refurbished in 2017–2018 with a twenty-year government loan of £100,000 taken out for the purpose.[4]
Naunton is referred to in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Niwetone.[7] There has probably been a settlement there for at least 2000 years.
The present church, dedicated to St Andrew,[8] dates largely from the 15th century. The Renaissance playwright and poet Ulpian Fulwell was Rector of Naunton from about 1570 until his death in about 1586.[9] Another Rector, from 1660, was the prolific author and translator Clement Barksdale (1609–1687), who held the parish in plurality with Stow-on-the-Wold.
