More about this scene
Northleach is a delightful town, easily missed with the construction of its recent bypass. As with so many Cotswolds settlements, it made its fortune in the wool trade and still shows off the grandeur of those rich and heady days. The Market Square is overlooked by what is arguably the finest wool church in a countryside full of those magnificent buildings.

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. It was interesting chatting to the owners of the Red Lion which one of Thomas's sons was landlord of for a time in the 1800s.
