Just past the “market hall”

used today by many locals selling their wares in the historical market hall

there by is a lovely honey coloured row of Cotswold houses and shops

leading us towards the Cotswold terrace homes of the beautiful local honey coloured stone that is famous in the Cotswolds

and we just mention that many of these were built before the late 1700’s of a box timber frame with wattle and daub, (that is wooden frames filled in with a mix of mud, stone, timber strips and even manure, to form a paste like plaster to use to fill in the gaps ) but from the late 1700’s they were refronted in stone work. There was a window tax law introduced in 1696, and one way out of paying to much tax was to build the window frames in a house, closer than 12 inches apart, which meant they could be counted as “one window” thus saving tax payment on paying for two windows, and you can see examples of these house windows along this portion of High Street

Many houses here in Chipping Campden are of Georgian style

very fashionable at this time period, and when walking around, if you look closely you will see many nice little features along the house fronts, such as “ horns” at each end of the window sill, which in fact even added strength to the sill. High street is a delightful walk, passing small independent shops, three storey houses, high sloping roofs, and all in that honey coloured stone. Now back by the Market hall, other shops may call you in

as you return towards the Noel Arms Hotel

and the call of a coffee break.
