Bourton on the Hill again - Gloucestershire

The village stands astride the A44 to the west of Moreton in Marsh Image and the church of St Laurence has its origins in the time of the Normans. It is also the last resting place of the philanthropist Samuel Wilson Warneford and has a rare survival in the form of a Winchester Bushel and Peck. In 1587 Winchester received a new set of weights and measures and these, being so accurate, were adopted throughout the kingdom – the example in the church was used in settling disputes over tithes. The village also has to show Bourton House, rebuilt in 1700 and a tithe barn of 1570. Time photo taken not available.
