    BOURTON-ON-THE-WATER CONSERVATION AREA STATEMENT Planning guidance for owners, occupiers and developers Bourton-on-the-Water lies in the broad valley of the River Windrush and is one of the largest villages in the district. It is recognised as one of the most popular tourist attractions in the Cotswolds. The centre of the village is picturesque, with ornamental low stone bridges spanning the clear waters of the River Windrush, and a broad village green flanked by many fine Cotswold stone buildings, all providing the setting for one of the most photographed Cotswold scenes. The aim of the conservation area is to conserve and enhance the older parts of the village, while maintaining a balance between tourism and the natural beauty of Bourton-on-the-Water.

    The Deadly Dance 30 [15] Beaton, M

    (15/30) The Deadly Dance 30 [15] Beaton, M. C. Minotaur Books (2010) Bossy, impulsive, and unlucky in love, the all-too-human Agatha Raisin has proved to be a surprisingly effective---and endearing---amateur sleuth. But can Agatha make it as a private investigator? After getting mugged on vacation, in what she will always think of as the Paris Incident, she decides to find out. Agatha soon learns that running her own detective agency in the Cotswolds is not quite like starring in a Raymond Chandler movie. Instead of dames in distress with big shoulder pads, her clients are ladies with missing cats and a man whose son has run off with his car. Agatha even worries that she might be outclassed by her sixty-seven-year- old secretary, Emma Comfrey. But then wealthy divorcée Catherine Laggat-Brown walks in with their first "real" case. Mrs. Laggat- Brown's daughter has received a death threat, and when Agatha thwarts an attack on the girl at a dinner dance, she recognizes an opportunity to show what Raisin Investigations can do. Even better, the case gives her a chance to reunite with her long-absent friend, Sir Charles Fraith. As they scour the Cotswolds in search of leads, Charles' insights prove invaluable and his charms irresistible, leading poor Emma to fall madly in love with him. As ever, Agatha bumbles her way through the case, trying her friends' patience and flirting shamelessly with the chief suspect. Will she put her tiny agency on the map, or has even the outrageous Agatha finally bitten off more than she can chew? GET A CLUE! Be the first to hear the latest mystery book news.… With the St.
