More about this scene
Lechlade, situated on the river Thames, is the gateway to the Cotswolds from the south-east. The Cotswold rivers of Coln and Leach join the Thames here, and the town is much influenced by them. Lechlade stone was used to build St Paul's Cathedral; it was brought from 10 miles north down to Taynton Quarry. The town is dominated by the Market Place and the church of St Lawrence. The 18th-century stone building of the Lion pub looks snug, and the 3-storey red brick New Inn can be glimpsed on the corner.
