More about this scene

'Stow-on-the-Wold, where the wind blows cold…' runs the ancient rhyme. The highest town in the Cotswolds can certainly be windswept, particularly in the winter. On balmier days it is a good place to halt for a while. Stow is not only an attractive town, but one steeped in the riches of English history.

My relatives lived in Stow in the 1600's. George Churm married Anne Spurrior on the 29 Sept 1695 at Stow Church. George's father, George, was born at Stow in 1630; his father Lawrence was born in 1600 and married Anne(?) at Stow Church in 1620.
