    Saturday Walkers Club SWC Walks Walk 224. Kingham to Moreton In

    Saturday Walkers Club SWC Walks Walk 224. Kingham to Moreton in Marsh via Adelstrop (the First World War Remembrance Walk) This Cotswolds walk is best done in “high summer” - late June to mid August - when there is maximum daylight (and hopefully sunlight!) to enjoy the dreamy Cotswolds landscape of flower-filled meadows, gentle hills and picturesque villages and churches. After periods of rain some paths and fields, particularly before lunch, will be boggy so this walk is best done and appreciated after a spell of dry, sunny weather. The walk is not recommended for autumn or winter. The walk first follows paths across fields near the river Evenlode and then passes through a number of lovely Cotswolds villages with its centrepiece a visit to the idyllic hamlet of Adelstrop, immortalised in the poem “Adelstrop” by Edward Thomas who died at the battle of Arras in France in 1917. Your recommended pub stop the Fox Inn at Lower Oddington is just 5.7km into the walk so you will have 12.0 km to complete after lunch (or 13.7km if you do the longer route from Adelstrop to Chastleton.). Jane Austen visited Adelstrop House at least three times and it is thought her novel Mansfield Park was inspired by the village and the surrounding area. The walk is on the Oxfordshire/ Gloucestershire borders and a long way from London and as you will not start walking until around noon (but earlier if you take the 9.22 Sunday train) you should prepare for a long day (12 hours) as there is much to see and enjoy.

    Reprinted from: Gloucestershire Society for Industrial Archaeology Journal for 1977-78 pages 25-29 INDUSTRIAL ABIZIIIEIILIIGY (IF p 25 MIIBHIIN I MARSH IHIIIIBESTERSIIIIIE BIIY STIPLETUN © ANCIENT ROADS An ancient way, associated with the Jurassic Way, entered the county at the Four Shire Stone (SP 231321). It came from the Rollright Stones in Oxfordshire and followed the slight ridge of the watershed between the Thames and the Severn just north of Moreton in Marsh. Its course from the Four Shire Stone is probably marked by the short stretch of county boundary across Uolford Heath to Lemington Lane. The subsequent line is diffi- cult to determine; it may have struck north west across Batsford Heath to Dorn or, perhaps more likely, may have continued along Lemington Lane around the eastern boundary of the Fire Service Technical College, so skirting the marshy area of Lemington and Batsford Heaths. In the latter case, it would have continued across the Moreton in Marsh-Todenham road and along the narrow lane past Lower Lemington which crosses the Ah29 road (the Fosse Way) to Dorn. From there it would have continued to follow approximately the line of this road up past Batsford and along the ridge above to the course followed by the Ahh, thence following the Cotswold Edge southwards. The Salt Hay from Droitwich through Campden followed the same route through Batsford and Dorn to the Four Shire Stone, where it divided into two routes. One followed the same line as the previous way through Kitebrook and past Salterls Hell Farm near Little Compton to the Ridgeway near the Rollright Stones.

    Balhatchets, High Street, Blockley, Gloucestershire, GL56 9ET

    Balhatchets, High Street, Blockley, Gloucestershire, GL56 9ET Balhatchets High Street Blockley MORETON-IN-MARSH Gloucestershire GL56 9ET Forming an integral part of one of the most picturesque High Streets in the North Cotswolds and occupying a village centre location, this intriguing and individually styled Grade II listed, three storey, three bedroom property must be viewed first hand to be fully appreciated and will be of certain appeal to those of an artistic or academic nature. The home of a renowned local potter and a professional gardener; the fusion of which is manifest in an elevated garden of tranquility above the High Street where there is also a bespoke fitted potters studio. The property itself is a sympathetic combination of two early 18th century buildings, joined together in 1989, resulting in the majority of the accommodation being at first floor level and incorporates a completely atmospheric ground floor kitchen and first floor living room. In the early 20th century the ground floor was a butchers shop. The property has three staircases on two levels giving rise to two bedrooms on the second floor and the first floor master bedroom has mullioned windows, both with built in window seats and an ensuite bathroom. Other homely qualities of the property include a gas fired Aga in the living kitchen, a wood burning stove in the living room, many exposed beams, roof timbers and some pointed internal stone walls. Externally the front of the property is approached by a rather grand staircase and the garden has a wrought iron railing surround and is formed in three distinct sections, privately screened with mature foliage and offering an excellent view of St Peter and Pauls church which is illuminated in the evenings.

Our villages are mostly built from traditional honey-coloured Cotswold stone; the area is affluent, with good village pubs and many nearby cafes and restaurants, and there are excellent primary and secondary schools in both state and independent sectors. But it’s also an area with significant challenges: prosperity sometimes deafens our communities to the call of Jesus Christ, and pockets of rural deprivation, limited public transport in the villages, and issues with employment and affordability of housing stocks for younger residents can make daily living tough for some. As a church, we also recognise the specific challenges of developing our outreach in our villages, as well as enhancing the spiritual and prayer life of our regular congregations. It’s a very beautiful place to live, but presents no lack of opportunities as we minister to our communities and keep faithful to our Gospel imperative to go and make disciples of all nations.
