More about this scene
Here we glimpse the High Street through the arches of the Market Hall, which was built in 1627 at the expense of Sir Baptist Hicks. This rich London merchant won favour with James I by lending the monarch money, and in return he was granted 'our rectory and church at Cheltenham, our chapel at Charlton Kings and our church at Campden.

One of those ...see more
We'd been married some four years before we could afford to take our honeymoon trip; our little daughter was just a year old. I'd never been "east of Boston", and air travel with a toddler was a challenge. Nevertheless, this was a trip I'd dreamed about since childhood.
