Sunset over Sevenhampton

Our photograph shows a stunning sunset near the village of Sevenhampton.

The River Coln divides this picturesque village into two parts. One part contains the church and manor house, and the other a cluster of attractive cottages and a ford. The interesting church has one of the prettiest and best kept churchyards in the Cotswolds.

Sevenhampton lies four miles south of Winchcombe and one and a half miles north of Andoversford, which was first mentioned in a charter of AD 759 as Onnanford - the name being derived from onn, the Welsh for ash tree, making this place 'at the ford of the ash trees'.
