Stanton: The Charming Cotswold Village That Time Forgot #cotswolds #cotswoldswalkingtours #england

#cotswolds #cotswoldswalkingtours #cotswoldsengland Welcome back to the channel. In this video we visit Stanton, one the prettiest villages in all the Cotswolds. The village takes its name from 'Stan' an on English word for Stone. It's a quiet and peaceful place occasionally visited by tourists and as the Cotswold Way goes through the village you do get walkers about the place but generally its well off the beaten track. In many ways apart from the obvious cars there is little other signs of modern life. Its the village that time forgot you could say. We do not know when the earliest settlement at Stanton was established, but there was farming taking place in the area as early as 2500 BC. We do know that there must have been a settlement here by the 9th century, and probably long before that date. One of the most interesting later owners of Stanton manor was Philip Stott, an architect and engineer who made a fortune building cotton mills. The family also owned Stanton Court from 1906 to 1949. Stott acted as a major benefactor, installing lamps on the main street powered by a generator in his home of Stanton Court. Stott was responsible for renovating Stanton Court and many of the houses in the village which had become dilapidated and over the years. Stott paid for improvements to just about every aspect of village life, from a new cricket field, an extension to the school, and a swimming pool for local children. Church of St Michael and All Angels. Though the earliest architectural features date to the 12th century, there was probably a church here as early as AD 811, when King Kenulf of Mercia gave the living of Stanton to Winchcombe Abbey. Two bays of a Norman arcade survive in the north aisle, and in the north transept is what remains of a medieval screen. Charles and John Wesley visited Stanton frequently as guests of the rectors. John Wesley fell in love with the rector's daughter, but she refused his offer of marriage. Mount Inn- 17th century The pubs unique position high on a hill provides the most spectacular panoramic views across the Vale of Evesham towards the Malvern Hills & even the Black Welsh mountains beyond. On a summer's evening it is the most perfect spot to watch the sunset & enjoy a pint of ale. Famous Residents include former English tennis player and TV Broadcaster Sue Barker who moved here with her husband Lance Tankard in 2007 WAYS TO SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: Help Keep the Content Flowing! ☕ If you’re enjoying what you see and want to support the channel, buying me a coffee is a simple way to do it!
