‘Field & Folk’ showing...
•
📍The Parabola Theatre & Bayshill House, Cheltenham, The Cotswolds
🔎 List Entry Number: 1386735
•
Here are some pictures following last weekend’s fabulous showing of ‘Cotswolds: Field & Folk’ to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Cotswolds National Landscape at Cheltenham Ladies College’s wonderful Parabola Theatre.
•
80% of the land in The Cotswolds is made up of agriculture - agriculture that has historically forged the wealth of the region, and indeed the country, and which has helped to shape the landscape, its architecture, its animals and its people. Filmed over a year and a half, this feature-length documentary, accompanied by sublime music by Lawton & Mack, took a look at where the farming sector and the people within it find themselves in 2026, examining the challenges they face and what the future might bring. A huge shoutout to everyone involved in such a splendid project and to Alana Hopkins for her kind invitation to attend, and most importantly a very Happy Birthday to Cotswolds National Landscape on their Diamond Anniversary! 6️⃣, 9️⃣ & 🔟
•
The stunning Parabola Theatre itself sits behind a detached villa, Bayshill House, originally built in 1839-42, probably by Samuel Olney, with glorious fluted Ionic columns 1️⃣, 2️⃣ & 3️⃣, Victorian blind boxes and tripartite sashes 5️⃣, which was adapted and extended in 2009 by Foster Wilson Architects as a theatre for the Cheltenham Ladies College. Bryan Little considers this to be part of, ‘a superb group (of villas) that make Bayshill Road one of the great roads for architecture in all England’! And I for one am inclined to agree...!

📍Tetbury, The Cotswolds
🔎 List Entry Number: 1341219
•
A few more shots of a favourite of mine from our brief jaunt round the lovely Tetbury the other day. This delightful detached house on New Street was originally built in C19th with wonderful Cotswolds dripmoulds over the doors and windows, and white wisteria decorating its gorgeous facade! Utterly charming...!

Little Yellow Stunner…
•
📍Market House, Tetbury, The Cotswolds
🔎 List Entry Number: 1303914
•
This delightful ochre coloured building is the Market House in Tetbury, originally built in 1655 to replace a medieval structure, it was apparently altered in 1740 and again in 1817, and served as a market, but also as a town hall, a manorial court and a place to lock up petty criminals before a purpose built courthouse and police station were built in the C19th. The alterations in 1817 included enclosing a place for a horse-drawn fire engine (you can see the doors in 4️⃣). The upper storey sits on 3 rows of sturdy Tuscan pillars 7️⃣, and on top, a pair of dolphins, the town’s emblem, decorates the weather vane 6️⃣ which are echoed in the rows of dolphin brackets supporting the wonderfully festooned hanging baskets along the sides. Gorgeous!

Glorious jargon...
•
📍Hay-on-Wye, Powys
🔎 List Entry Number: 300007315
•
Now whilst, as you know, I love architecture, I seem to be just as tickled by the jargon associated with it. I particularly love this description in the Listings of the Clock Tower in Hay-on-Wye (built in 1884) when we visited recently...
•
“High Victorian Gothic tall square tower with chamfered angles; rubble with some freestone dressings. Pyramidal slate roof in 2 stages with open bellcote and weathervane; pyramidal roof lucarnes to each face. Moulded eaves with machicolations. Round clock faces to each side set in pointed arched frames with linked hoodmoulds and stringcourse. Scalloped corbels to angles with 3 trefoils between; 2 arrowslits to each face. Heraldic band with set-offs below and diagonal buttresses with punched trefoil gablets. Double cusped arched openings to N and S sides with hood mouldings and nook shafts; blocked to S boarded double doors to N.”
Whilst most of the terms seem quite commonplace, I had not heard of ‘lucarnes’ (dormers), ‘machicolations’ (murder holes in castle battlements) and ‘gablets’ (small gables) before. Every day’s a schoolday...!

Cotswolds gorgeousness...
•
📍Chipping Campden, The Cotswolds
•
On an architectural jaunt round Chipping Campden, one end of The Cotswold Way, and one of a number of towns that became tremendously prosperous off the back of the wool this region’s known for. Much of the architecture was built by or for Sir Baptist Hicks, silk mercer to the court of James I and politician, and it was where that great influence on the development of the Arts and Crafts movement, C R Ashbee, moved the Guild and School of Handicraft he founded in 1888 to in 1902...

Tithe Barn Gorgeousness...!
•
📍Hartpury Tithe Barn, Hartpury, Gloucestershire
🔎 List Entry Number: 1172209
•
More from my diversion to Hartpury and the magnificent structure this gorgeous heraldic beast stands guard over. This glorious tithe barn was originally built in C14th for St Peter’s Abbey, Gloucester and altered C18th and C19th. The gable end facing England is guarded by a Welsh dragon finial 1️⃣, 5️⃣, 8️⃣ & 9️⃣ and the end facing Wales (which I was sadly unable to get to) by a lion. The C19th alterations include retiling the roof in red tiles with blue diamonds and bands on the South side 2️⃣ & 3️⃣. As one of the largest tithe barns in the country, surrounded by the parched fields of 2026, one wonders whether the farmers of previous centuries would have found it as difficult to fill...!
