DEVELOPMENT AND LOCATION INFORMATION...
A haven for those who love the outdoors, particularly walkers, cyclists and nature lovers, this charming village combines the best of rural living with the essential trappings of town life thanks to nearby Tewkesbury. All of this can be enjoyed with the advantage of a location that offers excellent schools within the catchment area.
Bredon offers excellent amenities, including a doctors' surgery, post office, village hall, and playing fields. The village enjoys a close-knit community feel, with a variety of activities focussed around its local sports clubs – cricket, lawn tennis, bowling and sailing – and, of course, the river and local marina. Tewkesbury is just three miles away, a historic riverside town with mediaeval streets, independent shops and the beautiful and imposing Tewkesbury Abbey.

Two Great Abbeys of Yorkshire
A simple look around two of the fabulous Abbeys in Yorkshire; Rievaulx and Fountains.
Both are outstanding examples of the early English Religious buildings.
We visited last week, mid September 2013, so the light is not perhaps the best. But do not let it stop you making a determined effort to see these ruins.
And, when you consider both sets of buildings would have been totally white washed inside and out - WOW - what a fantastic sight!
Places to see in ( Winchcombe - UK )
Places to see in ( Winchcombe - UK )
Winchcombe is a Cotswold town in the local authority district of Tewkesbury, in Gloucestershire, England. Its population according to the 2011 census was 4,538. The Belas Knap Neolithic long barrow on a hilltop above Winchcombe, was constructed from about 3000 BC. Later, during Anglo-Saxon times, Winchcombe was a chief city of Mercia favoured by Coenwulf; the others being Lichfield and Tamworth. Subsequently, during the 11th century, the town was briefly the county town of Winchcombeshire. The Anglo-Saxon saint St. Kenelm is believed to be buried in the town.
During the Anarchy of the 12th century, a motte-and-bailey castle was erected in the early 1140s by Roger Fitzmiles, 2nd Earl of Hereford for the Empress Matilda, although the exact site of this is unknown;. It has been suggested however, that it was to the south of St Peter's Church. In the Restoration period, Winchcombe was noted for cattle rustling and other lawlessness, caused in part by poverty. In an attempt to earn a living, local people grew tobacco as a cash crop, despite this practice having been outlawed since the Commonwealth. Soldiers were sent in on at least one occasion to destroy the illegal crop.
In Winchcombe and the immediate vicinity can be found Sudeley Castle and the remains of Hailes Abbey, which was one of the main centres of pilgrimages in Britain due to a phial possessed by the monks said to contain the Blood of Christ. There is nothing left of the now-vanished Winchcombe Abbey. St Peter's Church in the centre of the town is noted for its grotesques. The Michelin star restaurant 5 North Street is in Winchcombe.
Winchcombe sits on six long-distance footpaths: The Cotswold Way, the Gloucestershire Way, the Wychavon Way, St Kenelm's Trail, St Kenelm's Way, the Warden's Way and the Windrush Way. Winchcombe became a member of the Walkers are Welcome network of towns in July 2009 and now holds a walking festival every May.
Winchcombe was once served by a railway line, a relative latecomer in British railway history, which was opened in 1906 by the Great Western Railway. The line ran from Stratford-upon-Avon to Cheltenham and was part of a main line from Birmingham to the South West and South Wales. Winchcombe railway station and most others on the section closed in March 1960. Through passenger services continued on this line until March 1968, and goods until 1976 when a derailment at Winchcombe damaged the line. It was decided not to bring the section back into use and by the early 1980s it had been dismantled. The stretch between Toddington and Cheltenham Racecourse, including Winchcombe, has since been reconstructed and reopened as a heritage railway called the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway. A new railway station has been erected at Winchcombe, on its original site, the building being the former station at Monmouth ((Troy) railway station). Nearby is the 693 yard (634 m) Greet Tunnel, the second longest on any preserved line in Britain.
( Winchcombe - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Winchcombe . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Winchcombe - UK

Stanway House
Stanway is an outstandingly beautiful example of a Jacobean manor house, owned by Tewkesbury Abbey for 800 years then for 500 years by the Tracy family and their descendants, the Earls of Wemyss who still live there. The house, its fascinating furniture, the jewel-like Gatehouse, the church and 14th-century Tithe Barn, the 18th-century water-garden, the specimen trees and avenues, the surrounding villages, farms, parkland and woodland all subtly combine to create an enclave of very English and almost magical harmony. Thanks to its location, at the foot of the Cotswold escarpment, Stanway has been protected from many changes of the 20th century. Recently it has seen the gradual restoration of the 18th century watergarden, probably designed by the greatest of British landscape gardeners, Charles Bridgeman. The formal Canal, on a terrace above the house, the striking Pyramid and eight ponds have been reinstated, and a single-jet fountain, at 300 feet the highest fountain in Britain and the highest gravity fountain in the world, has been added.

Marlborough Mop Fairs 1992 - A film by Ian Philpott
This 52 minute film takes a good look at Marlborough’s Mop Fairs of 1992. You will also see lots of once familiar faces. If you recognize anyone, please do leave a comment below.
These annual events are among Britain’s oldest fairs and are held by Royal Charter granted to the town in 1204. They take place in the magnificent arena of Marlborough High Street and began as an event where goods could be sold or bartered. By the 19th Century, the Mops had evolved into hiring fair, which was then held twice a year. At the beginning of the 19th Century, hiring had all but died out and was replaced by early forms of the types of entertainments we see today. Whatever form they take, Marlborough’s Mops continue to be one of the few occasions during the year when the majority of townsfolk together in one place.
I hope you enjoy it.

The Priceless Ming Jar Used as an Umbrella Stand | Christie's
This magnificent and very rare large blue and white ‘Dragon’ jar was once used as an umbrella stand.
After a team of Christie's specialists looked at the jar, they realised they were handling an incredibly important piece of Chinese porcelain from the Ming Dynasty.
In this video, Chi Fan Tsang, a specialist in Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art, discusses the details that make this piece so special, including the significance of the five-clawed dragon, and the cross mark on the base of the vessel.
The dragon jar sold in 2016 for HK$158,040,000 / $20,447,642 as part of the '30 Years: The Sale' auction on 30 May in Hong Kong.
