Northleach, a charming village near Stow on the Wold

Northleach in the Cotswolds

Northleach lies on a plateau in a sheltered position 9 miles from Stow-on-the-Wold. It is a largely under-developed Cotswold village. The village's spacious central square is surrounded by rows of late-medieval cottages.

One of the oustanding features of Northleach is The Church of St Peter and St Paul which was erected in the fifteenth century at the height of the wool boom. The are many "wool churches" in the area, and this particular church has a collection of memorial brasses inlaid in the nave floor marking the tombs of the merchants whose endowments paid for the church. It is one of the most impressive of the Cotswold "wool churches"
