Stow-on-the-Wold stands
about 800 feet up in a hilltop position and is
the highest town in the Cotswolds.
The centre of Stow is its
great market square which was the scene of two
annual sheep fairs and now has a number of
elegant Cotswold houses and coaching inns facing
onto it.
The Church of St. Edward was
used as a prison for Royalist captives in the
Civil War and has an interesting Crucifixion
scene in the Dutch style as well as two
pre-Raphaelite stained glass windows in the
clerestory.
Stow is now known as a
centre for high quality specialist antiques.
