Mickleton is located 3 miles North of Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire The
village of Mickleton lies in a fine setting immediately beneath the
Cotswold edge overlooked by Meon Hill. It has several attractive stone
houses and cottages in addition to those of thatch and half-timber. The
little Victorian Memorial Fountain close by the Three Ways Hotel (home of
the Pudding Club) is an interesting feature by William Burges, the
architect of Cardiff Castle and Castle Coch, two excellent examples of the
High Victorian Gothic. Medford House is a handsome 'Cotswold-Queen Ann'
style building and the church has a fine 14th-century tower and spire, and
a most unusual 17th-century two-storeyed porch. Inside will be found a
12th-century crucifix or rood over the north aisle chapel alter. |
