More about this scene
The High Street runs along the east side of the market place. Here we see yet another half-timbered inn, the Red Lion, bearing testimony to the importance of the town in medieval and coaching days. A neat public toilet block is on the left, built in a Cotswold cottage style to harmonise with the street scene.

I have no personal memories but my family history shows me that the HART familiy lived and worked in the nearby villages and some were born in North and East Leach. I am curious as to life in a bygone English village. Also about the 'wool' industry, which eventually declined - Arlington Mill - would have been the place of work for many of our forebears - and one address I have is of Manor Cottages, most ...see more
My great-great-great grandad was vicar of Northleach church in the late 1700s until 1816. His name was Thomas wilkinson. I visited Northleach earlier this year and I love it.
