Originally a pair of Victorian cottages, each with their own side entrances, with a small barn to the rear, the accommodation has now been combined and connected to provide 2,700ft sq of accommodation including an eclectic living-kitchen with galleried landing above. There are two staircases within the property: the front one leading to two double bedrooms and two bathrooms. There is a further double bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor, forming either a guest suite or providing adaptable accommodation for more than one generation. Whilst there are two reception rooms to the front, the property's piece de resistance is the central living- kitchen, with its 14ft high apex ceiling and peninsula conservatory dining area, all creating a light and airy ambience with a minstrels gallery or second study above. The property has a state of the art oil-fired heating system and incorporates a pressurised hot water system, as well as piped underfloor heating to the living-kitchen and electric underfloor heating to the three separate bathrooms. The property is located on a 0.2 acre plot with a southerly-aspect over trees to the front and vehicular access along a private lane to the rear, with ample parking, turning and hardstanding. With its closest grocery store being Daylesford Organics and Kingham railway station within a two mile drive, Adlestrop provides a Cotswold sanctuary for those looking for either a main or supplementary home in one of the quietest parts of middle England.

  • 'I Should Want Nothing More': Edward Thomas and Simplicity
    Journal of the British Academy, 7, 89–121. DOI https://doi.org/10.5871/jba/007.089 Posted 4 November 2019. © The British Academy 2019 ‘I should want nothing more’: Edward Thomas and simplicity Chatterton Lecture on Poetry read 1 November 2018 GUY CUTHBERTSON Abstract: In the years before the First World War, the ‘Simple Life’ became somewhat fashionable, and Edward Thomas (1878–1917) was one of those Edwardians who were attracted to simplicity, both as a way of life and as a way of writing. As a book reviewer and biographer, he greatly admired simplicity in literature (as seen in, among others, William Cobbett, W. H. Davies, J. M. Synge and Robert Frost). His prose moved towards plainness, and his poetry is beautifully simple. This simplicity has been problematic, however. His poetry is unsuited to the decoding and exegesis (which might be suited to Modernism) that universities seek to conduct. Academics studying his poetry have allowed themselves to believe that they have found complexity, hidden beneath superficial simplicity, whereas in fact Thomas is a poet of genuine bareness, clear-as-glass honesty, magical brevity and childlike simplicity. His simplicity has been popular, and seems to suit some 21st-century fashions. Keywords: the Simple Life, simplicity, complexity, Edwardians, universities, First World War, Modernism, Robert Frost, William Cobbett, J. M. Synge In the decade or so before the First World War, simplicity became somewhat fashionable—indeed it was a religion for some. This craze is captured rather wonderfully in the Edwardian hit musical The Arcadians (1909), where the central character is given the name ‘Simplicitas’, idyllic Arcady is recreated in London at a successful new health food restaurant and men are ‘keen as a knife / On the simple life’.1 Although some might want it otherwise, Edward Thomas was part of this atmos- phere.

    Stow-on-the-Wold AllTaker images Lathwood; © Emma The Picture Stow-on- the-Wold At nearly 800 feet, Stow is the highest of the Gloucestershire Cotswolds towns and famous as a centre for antiques. The town radiates from the impressive market square, surrounded by Cotswold stone buildings. There is a good selection of specialist shops, cosy cafés and inns to enjoy. Stow has a fascinating history, with the market square once host to some of the Cotswolds’ largest sheep fairs, with up to 20,000 sheep herded into the square for sale. The medieval Market Cross and the old stocks give a sense of Stow’s early history. Stow had a significant role in the English Civil War – it was at nearby Donnington that the last battle was fought in 1646. St Edward’s Church was used as a prison for the defeated Royalist troops and is well worth a visit. Stow is also home to England’s oldest inn, The Porch House, as well as a great choice of other places to eat. www.cotswolds.com/Stow Cotswold Electric Bike Tours Kingham OX7 6YQ Tel 01608 659378 www.cotswoldelectricbiketours.co.uk E Our state-of-the-art electric bikes will help power you through the beautiful Cotswold countryside and villages.

In many instances they announce themselves to visitors and passers-by proudly and without disguise: Althorp nth, the focus of national attention in 1997; or Mablethorpe lin, seaside destination for land-locked Midlanders and inspiration for Tennyson’s eponymous poem (Figure 1.1). Elsewhere they lie hidden from view behind a variety of spellings, only to be discovered by those who enquire within: Cock-a-Troop Cottages wlt; Eastrip som; Droop dor; Burdrop oxf; Thrupp, Hatherop and Puckrup glo. Unlike places taking other commonly encountered generic name elements, such as -h¯am or -t¯un, -worth or -burh, -l¯eah or -feld, thorps and throps are synonymous with the English countryside. When seen on road signs, they invariably point towards villages, hamlets or individual farms.
