More about this scene

The arched building in the left foreground is 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. In return the king granted Hicks 'our rectory and church at Cheltenham, our chapel at Charlton Kings and our church at Campden.' This made Hicks a powerful landowner in the area, and to proclaim the fact he built himself an impressive seat named Campden House. During the Civil War, he burnt the house down for fear that it might fall into Parliamentarian hands.

My grandparents lived in the Almshouses, not sure which one first, but certainly No4 and then later they moved to No12 - this is the house and window which is featured in the photo. Externally it has barely changed since I remember it, though a recent visit and oeek through the front door showed the stairs and downstairs toilet have been rearranged. I remember vegetables and fruit in the garden which ...see more

Back Ends Treasure
I was brought up in Chipping Campden, living first at the pre-fabs in Berrington Road, then Littleworth Estate. Enjoying my childhood in the countryside, glorious summers, apples and cherries in abundance in the orchards at harvest time. Searching for treasure in the ditch at the junction of Hoo Lane and Back Ends. At this junction was a garage where the Automobile Association man stored his official ...see more

The Tomes Family Of Chipping Campden
I have been interested in tracing my family tree for many years and my computer is full of vast amounts of information regarding my forebears. I have lived in Mexico for many years but back in 2007, after having retired, and having lots of time on my hands I decided to go to England (without my family this time) and visit all those places where my ancestors lived and died. One of ...see more

Uk Honeymoon
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. To a native of the flat midwest prairie, the Cotswolds seemed like a fairyland. I was an Illinois farm girl, but I'd never smelled air so ...see more

Genealogy & Research Images

Despite over 20 years’ work on the archive, these scans have still not been individually checked and may prove to be damaged, faded, or not of sufficient quality to ever be offered in our full product range. However, if you would particularly like to buy one of these please get in touch quoting the Frith negative number,(s) the town name and size of print you would like to buy. On receipt of your enquiry our archivist will check the scan and advise you if the quality is good enough.

What is an Album?

An album is a way to save a selection of Frith photos, maps and memories that are of interest to you.

Creating an Album enables you to make short lists and then make a final selection from the album. In particular it makes ordering things like calendars much easier - simply create an Album of the 12 photos you like and then use the Album when placng your order - our order process will give you this option.

You can create as many Albums as you want, so perhaps make one for your hometown, where you live now, where your parents live now etc.
