The village has a village hall and a fine parish church and contains an interesting selection of period stone houses and cottages. Both nearby Bourton-on-the-Water and Stow- on-the-Wold provide every day amenities such as banks, libraries, shops and restaurants. The larger centres of Cheltenham and Cirencester provide more extensive cultural, shopping and leisure facilities. The area is known for interesting churches and there are important gardens at Hidcote and Kiftsgate and further afield there is the magnificent Blenheim Palace. There is an excellent range of private and state schools in the area including Kitebrook at Moreton-in-Marsh, Cheltenham College and Cheltenham Ladies’ College and an excellent range of private schools in and around Oxford. The Cotswold School, which achieved Academy status in 2010, is situated in Bourton-on-the-Water and its excellent academic reputation attracts students from across the Cotswolds. Sporting opportunities in the area are excellent with the Heythrop Hunt, fishing and shooting. There are golf courses at Naunton Downs, Burford and Lyneham and National Hunt Racing at Stratford-upon-Avon, Cheltenham and Warwick. As such the area is synonymous with a number of highly regarded National Hunt yards. Stratford- upon-Avon is also home to the world renowned Royal Shakespeare Company. There are fine local walks via an abundance of bridleways and footpaths for the horse riding and walking enthusiast. There is fast access to Oxford and London via the A44/M40 or the mainline stations at Kingham and Moreton-in-Marsh serving Oxford, London/ Paddington and the Midlands. Bobble Barn Farmhouse The sale of Bobble Barn Farmhouse provides an exciting opportunity to purchase a property situated in the centre of its own land being within comfortable driving distance of Stow-on-the-Wold and benefitting from panoramic views. The property will appeal to those buyers looking specifically for a small manageable stud farm as well as those looking for a country house with land. For those buyers specifically looking for an equestrian property, some of the UK’s best-known National Hunt race courses and first class support in terms of experienced staff and equestrian vets are situated in the North Cotswolds. Unusually there are no public rights of way cross any part of the land ensuring a greater degree of security and privacy. Bobble Barn Farmhouse is Grade II Listed and possibly dates from the late eighteenth century. The property was formerly a threshing barn with adjoining stables and is constructed of squared and dressed limestone with dressed cream coloured quoins beneath a reconstituted stone tiled roof. Internally the property is split into five bays with the original collar and tie beam trusses and double butt purlins. Bobble Barn Farmhouse occupies a particularly prominent position on the brow of the hill with fine rural views. The property was first converted to a dwelling in 1986. The current owners extended and refurbished the property in 2001 to create a charming and comfortable country house. Unusually for a period barn the property has many door and window openings with some rooms having full height vaulted ceilings which combine to create a sense of space and grandeur. The well planned and versatile accommodation lends itself well to family living. The accompanying floor plans illustrate the layout of the accommodation but in brief the principal aspects of the accommodation are as follows. • Welcoming reception hall with flagstone floor, full height vaulted ceiling, exposed timbers and glazed barn doors allowing light to flood in. • Charming double aspect sitting room with raised fireplace and fitted cupboards and bookshelves. • Comfortable study with a deep window with window seat and wonderful, far reaching views over the paddocks and beyond to the countryside. • Magnificent double aspect drawing room with full height vaulted ceiling, open trusses and purlins, flagstone floor and an impressive fireplace housing a substantial wood burning stove with recesses to either side. To one end of the room is a range of fitted cupboards and bookshelves. A solid turned staircase rises from a corner of the drawing room to a small galleried home office with doors to tallet steps which lead down to the garden. French doors with shutters open from the drawing room onto a south-west facing Mediterranean-style garden. • Well-proportioned double aspect formal dining room situated between the reception hall and the drawing room and adjacent to the kitchen with a polished oak floor and secondary staircase leading to bedroom five. A door with shutters leads to a terrace. • Situated at the heart of the house is the kitchen which is comprehensively fitted with traditional style painted units beneath polished granite work surfaces with Belfast sink and Britannia range oven. The kitchen also houses a useful pantry cupboard and dresser. • The kitchen opens into the garden room which overlooks the gardens and takes advantage of the expansive views over the valley. Doors lead out to a terrace. • Also on the ground floor is a boot room, laundry room and cloakroom, all of which are well fitted out and, together with the coat cupboards in the hall, are ideal for family and rural life. • The principal oak staircase provides access to an attractive part galleried landing which leads to the master bedroom having a fine triple aspect, vaulted ceiling and an extensive range of built in dressing cupboards and drawers. There is also an en suite bathroom with a traditional suite with separate shower and half panelled walls. • Also on the first floor are three further bedrooms, one having an en suite shower room, whilst bedrooms three and four have access to a family shower room. Bedroom five is accessed via the secondary staircase, which leads from the dining room, and has an en suite cloakroom.

    STRATEGY, MISSION AND PEOPLE IN A RURAL DIOCESE A CRITICAL EXAMINATION OF THE DIOCESE OF GLOUCESTER 1863-1923 BRIAN KNIGHT A thesis submitted to the University of Gloucestershire in accordance with the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities August, 2002 11 Strategy, Mission and People in a Rural Diocese A critical examination of the Diocese of Gloucester 1863-1923 Abstract A study of the relationship between the people of Gloucestershire and the Church of England diocese of Gloucester under two bishops, Charles John Ellicott and Edgar Charles Sumner Gibson who presided over a mainly rural diocese, predominantly of small parishes with populations under 2,000. Drawing largely on reports and statistics from individual parishes, the study recalls an era in which the class structure was a dominant factor. The framework of the diocese, with its small villages, many of them presided over by a squire, helped to perpetuate a quasi-feudal system which made sharp distinctions between leaders and led. It is shown how for most of this period Church leaders deliberately chose to ally themselves with the power and influence of the wealthy and cultured levels of society and ostensibly to further their interests. The consequence was that they failed to understand and alienated a large proportion of the lower orders, who were effectively excluded from any involvement in the Church's affairs. Both bishops over-estimated the influence of the Church on the general population but with the twentieth century came the realisation that the working man and women of all classes had qualities which could be adapted to the Church's service and a wider lay involvement was strongly encouraged.

  • Benefice Profile
    The Benefice of Bourton on the Water with Clapton & the Rissingtons Benefice Profile Our Benefice The benefice of Bourton on the Water with Clapton & the Rissingtons is part of the North Cotswolds Deanery of the Diocese of Gloucester. The Benefice (which is now 14 years old) consists of 6 village communities, within which are 5 traditional Cotswold churches and a local ecumenical church plant (CUR:ve). Our benefice is ministered to by a full-time Rector, based in Bourton-on-the-Water, and a House for Duty Associate Minister, with special responsibility for the Rissingtons, based in Upper Rissington. There is a Reader, as well as lots of enthusiastic and capable lay involvement. The North Cotswolds Deanery is also home to a vibrant and supportive clergy chapter. Each of our villages has its own sense of community and identity, although we share the aim of making the Gospel of Jesus Christ relevant and accessible to all those who live, work and visit here. We know we live in a beautiful part of the country and readily share it with those who travel to us from all over the world; maybe you have visited! Bourton is the focal point of the benefice with shops, pubs, restaurants, doctors, dentist & Leisure Centre. Both Bourton and Upper Rissington are currently experiencing expansion with much new housing. There are lots of local primary schools (with good and outstanding OFSTED reports) and the Cotswold School in Bourton (our Secondary Academy affiliated to the Diocese) also has an outstanding OFSTED report. Its catchment area is wide, drawing students from within and some miles beyond the benefice.
