This revised 2006 edition, which has also been chosen as the official guide to the Cotswold Way relay race, describes the Cotswold Way from the best vantage point - on foot. This is another title from the Cotswold publisher, Reardon. Recommended by TV's "Wish You Were Here", this is the ultimate walking guide to the Cotswolds, "The Cotswold Way".

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A SCHOOL IN THE COUNTRY Didbrook School in the Parish of Stanway, in the Cotswolds, Gloucestershire, England by Jillian R Mann This history of a rural school in the Cotswolds in the County of Gloucestershire records how the education of children in England evolved from the early 19th century to the present day, with particular reference to the features, advantages and problems of country schools. Using abundant anecdotes of past pupils and staff, descriptions of the geographical, political and social circumstances within which the school operated, and many colourful photographs, the book provides a vibrant record of how the life of rural children in England changed over two centuries. Summary This is a history of Didbrook School, a rural school in the Cotswolds. It is situated within the Parish of Stanway, in north Gloucestershire, England. The book encompasses the period extending from the early 19th century to the present day. It describes not only how the education of children in England evolved from the early 19th into the 21st centuries, but also illustrates the particular features, advantages and problems of country schools. Using abundant anecdotes of past pupils and staff and descriptions of the geographical, political and social circumstances within which the school operated, and many colourful illustrations, the book provides a vibrant record of how the life of children living in the country has changed over two centuries. Contents Foreword by the Earl of Wemyss & March Introduction This begins with a brief history, from AD 597 until the beginning of the 19th century, of the education of children in England and Wales, and the pertinent legislation. (For the rest of the 19th century up to the present day these topics are covered in subsequent chapters.) The location of Didbrook School and the geography of Stanway Parish are described, illustrating their relative isolation from urban areas, particularly before the railway line from Honeybourne to Cheltenham was opened in 1906. The demographic changes in Didbrook and the surrounding villages over two centuries are described, and their socio-economic evolution. There is also a section on the author's personal recollections of the school. She, like her parents and siblings, were pupils there. Chapter 1.The History of Didbrook School This chapter describes the day and Sunday schools in Didbrook and Hailes which existed before the present school was built in Didbrook by the 3rd Baron Sudeley in 1870. From 1879 the development of Didbrook School was recorded in detail by successive head teachers, whose records (Log Books) provide much of the subsequent information. Children came by foot from many neighbouring villages and hamlets, up to 3 miles away. The ownership of the school transferred to the Earls of Wemyss in 1890, following an exchange of land between the Stanway and Toddington Estates in 1890. In 1921 Didbrook School was amalgamated with Stanway School on the Didbrook site and continued to educate children of all ages up to 15 years until the Secondary Modern School opened in Winchcombe in 1952. Thereafter, Didbrook School became a primary School. In the 1960s and 1970s Didbrook School absorbed the work of the schools in Stanton and Laverton villages when they closed, but nevertheless by the 1990s falling rolls threatened Didbrook School's future. The causes included falling birth rates, and the use of many cottages as second homes in some of the villages outside Stanway Parish. Closure of Didbrook School and of its nearest neighbour, Toddington School, was fended off in 2008 by their amalgamation as Isbourne Valley School. Chapter 2. The History of Stanway School This chapter describes the education which was supported financially by Viscountess Hereford, the then owner of Stanway Estate, before in 1857 the Earl of Wemyss provided a stone built school, incorporating accommodation for its teacher. The principal sources of its subsequent history were the two Log Books kept by the head teachers from 1863 until the school was amalgamated with Stanway School in 1921. Chapter 3. Teachers at Didbrook School All the head and other teachers identified from the school's records are listed, together with some of the monitors, who acted as assistant teachers. There were three particularly notable head teachers, who between them held the post for 98 years, Mrs Alcock, Mrs Holdsworth and Mr Sanders. Their lives and careers are described in some detail, with many anecdotes about their pupils. Shorter biographies are given of most of the other head teachers in the 20th and 21st centuries. A much loved infant teacher, Miss Last, who was a pupil, monitor and then teacher for 42 years is also highlighted. Chapter 4. Patronage and Governance Both Didbrook and Stanway Schools were 'Estate Schools' and the support and influence of their owners and patrons, the Tracy and Charteris families are described, with many examples. Although it is now a state school, Lord Wemyss still owns Didbrook School and is an active Governor. Many school events have been held over the years in Stanway House and its grounds and other properties, and some are illustrated. Didbrook School was originally run as a Church School and was jointly managed by the Lord of the Manor (or his agent/steward) and the vicar (or his curate) with the help of the school managers. In more recent years the influence of the Church has somewhat diminished, although not disappeared, and governors have replaced managers. All those managers and governors whose names were recorded in the Log Books and other records are listed. Chapter 5. Curriculum and Achievements Against a background of the national trends and legislation on education, which are described, their implementation in Didbrook School is recorded. In the 19th century the teacher was generally single- handed and had large classes, and other problems arose. For example, the itinerant nature of many agricultural workers, who often were.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. "The Cotswold Town and Village Guide: The Definitive Guide to Places of Interest in the Cotswolds" is the result of my continuing love affair with the Cotswolds, an area that I have known for most of my life and one that I have been visiting with my camera and notebook for well over fifty years. A glance at the maps contained in this book will soon reveal that the area covered extends well beyond the classic Cotswolds, but it never strays far from true limestone country with its typically lovely stone towns and villages. These are enfolded by rolling hills and quiet wooded valleys through which clear streams flow and all have a similar character to the better-known places of pilgrimage like Stow on the Wold, Cirencester, Bourton-on-the-Water or Broadway. Of course these favourites have not been ignored. The Cotswold countryside is as near to perfection as one could wish for, but it is still further enhanced by the treasures to be found within its towns, villages and hamlets. Here are some of Britain's loveliest medieval churches and domestic buildings, almost all of which are built of the marvellous honey coloured Cotswold stone that here lies so close to the surface. When setting out on your journeys of discovery, savour each day and not try to cover too much ground - it has taken me most of a lifetime to get round it all! If possible buy a good map or maps ( preferably Ordnance Survey ones) and walk from village to village along a quiet footpath or bridleway, stopping beside a stream for a picnic, or at a pub for lunch. This is another book from Reardon Publishing the Cotswold Publisher. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. England used to enjoy one of the most comprehensive railway networks in Europe. By the last decade of the 19th century there was hardly a hamlet in the land which could not be reached by train itself or after a brief ride in a pony and trap from the nearest station. However, the improved reliability and sheer convenience of internal combustion engined road vehicles brought competition to the railways which caused a steady and persistent decline in freight and passengers throughout the second half of the 20th century. By then the railways, initially funded by private enterprise, had been nationalized as a state asset. This left the state paying for trains which ran at a loss for lack of goods and people to fill them. During the late 1950s and throughout the 1960s, successive governments sought to staunch this outflow of funds by closing thousands of miles of railway lines and hundreds of stations.Many of these were branch lines, that is a track leaving the main line to serve a specific place but going no further. At a stroke, large parts of the huge 19th-century civil engineering effort which went into building the network were redundant and, once any salvage of value was removed, duly abandoned. By and large, it was not economic to reinstate the cuttings, embankments and bridges built to give the most straight and level route possible for each line.What is left of these abandoned lines can offer rewarding walks through the heart of the countryside, away from roads and traffic, rich in flora and fauna and littered with dramatic examples of Victorian civil engineering. In short, there is something to the taste of the routine walker and the railway enthusiast. For either type they are best done twice, once in summer and once in winter. The summer will show what grows where the plow and the sprayer to not go, while the winter will show the detail of what was built, well over a century ago. This book features 12 of these walks throughout Gloucestershire and Wiltshire. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The Donnington Way a History of Donnington Brewery and walk between the Donnington Inns. Donnington Mill was perhaps one of the Mills of Broadwell Manor, which dated back to 1291. In the 16th century it was used as a Cloth Mill which the Lord of the Manor of Donnington rebuilt and converted into two Corn Mills circa 1580. However, early in the 17th century, the Mill became a separate freehold estate, and in 1827 the buildings were bought by Thomas Arkell, whose descendant Richard Arkell started a Brewery there in 1865. The Brewery flourishes today and has been owned and run by the Arkell family ever since. Claude Arkell, the grandson of the founder, passed away in 2007 after 50 years at the Brewery. Today it is owned and run by James Arkell. Some of the neighbouring land is owned by the family and, until the mid-1960's, it provided barley for use in the brewing process. However, since that time malt has been supplied by Norfolk maltings together with hops obtained locally from Worcestershire. Today the Millhouse is still there in splendid condition, and operates as part of the Brewery. Even the mill wheel. is still used to drive small pumps and machines. The end product, Donnington's traditional beers, are still produced by much the same recipe that has always been in use. The basic requirement, that is water or, in brewing terms "liquor", is drawn from a strong spring beside the mill pond and has proved to be satisfactory for use in the brewing process in its natural state. Two regular draught beers are brewed; 'BB' 3.6% abv and 'SBA' 4.4% abv Double Donn is also a regular bottled beer. Special ales are now occasionally brewed; Founders Ale, Diamond Queen and Donnington Gold. Of the Brewery itself, the setting and the architecture can only be described as idyllic, with beautiful Cotswold buildings, carefully tended lawns and paths leading down to the mill pond at the head of which is a Trout Farm. Unfortunately, the brewing process is not a subject that lends itself to the spectator, and Donnington would soon become over-run if it were open to the public, so very reluctantly Mr Arkell cannot entertain visitors. However, dropping in to purchase beer by car is always acceptable. Donnington Brewery brews real ale in the heart of the Cotswolds and maintains 15 inns in arguably the country's ideal location. For many, the name of Donnington means more than good beer; it's a whole way of life. Now, the pleasure that is Donnington is opened to the rambler in the form of a 62-mile circular walk appropriately called 'The Donnington Way'. You can join the walk at any point in its 15 pub-to-pub sections. Some Donnington Inns offer bed and breakfast facilities, enabling you to walk distances of your choice. Almost 90% of the walk is in Gloucestershire, although parts of the way pass through Worcestershire, Warwickshire and Oxfordshire. All rights of way listed have been walked to establish their existence on the ground, following wherever possible public footpaths and bridleways. To help you along the way maps have been drawn for each of the 15 sections but for greater detail consult OS Outdoor Leisure 45 'The Cotswolds' map which covers the entire route. The Donnington Way is a true Cotswold delight for the rambler who thrives on well-kept countryside and hidden villages. The charm of rural Gloucestershire is treasured by many a walker and the Donnington Way offers an opportunity for that treasure chest to be open to all.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Welcome to Bibury William Morris once described Bibury as the beautiful village in England. It is a very special village, with a character of its own, but with a tradition and feel that's purely Cotswolds. Many people return to Bibury, time and time again, breathing in the beauty and the tranquility of the river meandering through the Coln Valley, with the enchanting Cotswold stone cottages and old Mills. If you come to Bibury early in the morning, as the mist rolls gently back from the hills surrounding the village, you will find a row of traditional Cotswold cottages, well known throughout England, and indeed the world. This row of weavers' cottages as shown on the front cover is known as Arlington Row, and is perhaps one of the most photographed places in the Cotswolds.
