As I sit in our next beautiful cottage, listening to the river just outside our door and the rain, I am thinking back to the wonderful seven days we spent in Chipping Campden. There were so many lovely details within the architecture in this picturesque town – I could post at least 50 pictures of door knockers alone!
Chipping Campden has existed since the late 12th century, but the current look of the village dates from the late 17th century when many of the wood-frame buildings were re-fronted in the honey-coloured limestone found in this part of the Cotswolds. Here are a few of the details I found most charming:
A coffee table book of door knockers would be great fun. Please take more “knocker” pics to show me when you get back. Just dont get into trouble hanging out in someone’s doorway. A trip to a British jail is not on the itinerary!
I will be discreet!
