ALMS COTTAGES,
WINCHCOMBE
This row of alms cottages was built in 1865
to house the needy of Winchcombe. The
cottages, now privately owned, are lovingly
cared for and make a memorable photo. In
the early medieval times Winchcombe was
the capital of the Saxon capital of Mercia.

NUMBER 5 STANWAY COTTAGE,
STANWAY
Stanway Cottage, directly across the road
from the village church and cemetery, may
have been built as early as the 16th century
as an almshouse for the benefit of the poor.
Stanway itself is a Cotswolds gem. But if you
don’t watch closely, you’ll miss the turn-off
leading to this English hamlet dating back to
medieval times.

FALLING PETALS GARDEN,
BROADWAY
The Garden. Rose bushes climb a golden
Cotswold stone wall. A brief shower creates
pale pink petals covering the pathway to the
charming Broadway home. Many of the
houses along Broadway’s
main road, its High Street, were built in the
16th, 17th and 18th centuries.

BROADWAY HIGH STREET,
BROADWAY
The Street. Further down the High Street,
summer week-day tourism thrives. Crowds
from tour buses and day trip vacationing
families pack shops, but almost no one goes
further up the High Street. They don’t realize
what they’re missing.
