7 Cemeteries in Cotswolds That You Shouldn't Miss
The Cotswolds (/ˈkɒtswoʊldz/ KOTS-wohldz, /-wəldz/ -wəldz) is an area in south central England containing the Cotswold Hills, a range of rolling hills which rise from the meadows of the upper Thames to an escarpment, known as the Cotswold Edge, above the Severn Valley and Evesham Vale. The area is defined by the bedrock of Jurassic limestone that creates a type of grassland habitat rare in the UK and that is quarried for the golden coloured Cotswold stone. It contains unique features derived from the use of this mineral; the predominantly rural landscape contains stone-built villages, historical towns and stately homes and gardens. The population of the District is about 84,000.

Tucked away just behind the High Street, this is a beautiful church. There are still a few original 12th century remains (West wall and tower pillars), and the 13th century additions are largely unaltered, which is unusual for a parish church. The interior has some lovely stained glass windows and a lot of interesting memorials, many of them military. The local volunteers are fantastic, and they have kept the church alive and looking beautiful. Well done to them and thank you!
