Arlington Row 3063-

Arlington Row at Arlington in the parish of Bibury, Gloucestershire, England was built in the late 14th century as a wool store and converted into weavers' houses in the late 17th century. It is a Grade I listed building, owned by the National Trust.

Arlington Row on Awkward Hill is a nationally notable architectural conservation area depicted on the inside cover of all United Kingdom passports.[3] It is a popular visitor attraction,[4] reportedly one of the most photographed Cotswold scenes.

The cottages were built in 1380 as a monastic wool store.[6] This was converted into a row of cottages for weavers in the late 17th century, with some late 17th- or early 18th-century additions.

The cloth produced there was hung out on racks to dry on The Rack Isle opposite, before being sent on to Arlington Mill for degreasing.
