The view from Nutshell Bridge
The Stroudwater Navigation was built in the mid-to-late eighteenth century, providing a link for trade between Gloucester to London, via other canals. Now closed to commercial boats, it has been restored and is run by the Cotswold Canals Trust. As Stonehouse has expanded in recent times some housing is starting to encroach.

Nutshell House and Bridge
On the Stroudwater Canal. The lady in the foreground drew our attention to a kingfisher in the trees on the opposite bank. On the occasion when it made an appearance for us, it moved so quickly that I suspect that her attempts to photograph it were unavailing.

The cemetery by St Cyr's
The church has a long history and graveyard space soon became used. Initially, tombs were located to the south, but as the canal came right past, room was needed elsewhere. After many calls, new land was added in 1908 but that became full in 1960. Over the years more space has been gifted in 1981 and 1997.
