The High Street, Chipping Campden, Cotswolds
Chipping Campden is a small market town in the Cotswolds. It is notable for its elegant terraced High Street, dating mainly from the 14th century to the 18th centuries. A rich wool trading centre in the Middle Ages, Chipping Campden enjoyed the patronage of wealthy wool merchants.
The building nearest the camera looks like two separate buildings because of the different windows on the ground floor. However, it is one building. The shop windows date from the mid-1800s while the stone bay window nearest dates from the late 1800s. But the Grade II-listed building itself, called Three Gables, was constructed in the 1600s. There has clearly been a considerable amount of settlement, particularly at the far dormer gable, which looks rather wonky to say the least.
