More about this scene
Sheep Street is an appropriate reminder that this town, which sits on a rounded tump 800 feet above sea level, was once a centre of the wool industry. Sheep known as Cotswold Lions were best suited to the conditions, a hardy breed with fleeces especially thick to keep out the chill and make their owners rich.

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. Please contact me if you have any further info into the Churm, Spurrior ,Lawrence , Cairn or Webb families of Stow or Wyck Rissington.
