After last weeks Oxfordshire photo we hop over the border into Gloucestershire.
The artist William Morris referred to Bibury as ‘the most beautiful village in England’, based on my current travels I am inclined to agree with him. The photo above shows Arlington Row cottages. They were built in 1380 so are currently 633 years old. Originally they were used as a wool store before being converted to cottages in the 17th century. If it looks familiar to you then maybe you recognise them as being used in Stardust, they served as the location of Victoria’s home. Bibury is part of the Cotswolds where there are numerous beautiful villages, I have been lucky enough to visit a few and this one is so far my favourite.
Love the photo and great blog!
Thank you, always nice to hear.
Wow those cottages are so pretty….and four times as old as my entire country! Hahahaha.
Wow. Even I who is used to old buildings was pretty amazed at just how old they were and how good they looked for it. Definitely built to last. Thanks for the comment.
nice atmosphere
Thank you. It was incredibly overcast that day so I had to get a bit creative in photoshop.
1380! More than 100 years before Columbus sailed!
Looks like the town would be perfect for a lot of movies!
I know, it is a bit mind boggling quite how old are they. I know they used the cottages specifically for Stardust. Certainly not much required to change if using them for a historical film.
