The name of the village of Lower Slaughter stems from the Old English name for a wet land 'slough' or 'slothre' (Old English for muddy place) upon which it lies. This quaint village sits beside the little Eye stream and is known for its unspoilt limestone cottages in the traditional Cotswold style.
The stream running through the village is crossed by two small bridges.

A photo from a lovely few days in the Cotswolds. This is the Old Mill in Lower Slaughter. They do know how to do perfect English villages in this area. My photo doesn't do it justice.

Some history from Audubon:
Nearly wiped out in the United States in the late 1800s, when its plumes were sought for use in fashion, the Great Egret made a comeback after early conservationists put a stop to the slaughter and protected its colonies; as a result, this bird became the symbol of the National Audubon Society.
This species will likely gain habitable areas as the earth warms - you can see the predictions here:

I have just completed 2 one-day courses - I now know how to shoot in manual, and what to do with RAW files. I can also do various things in Photoshop, and I understand layers - lets hope it all sticks, and my work improves!
The name of the village derives form the Old English term "slough" meaning "wet land"
The village is built on both banks of the River Eye, a slow-moving stream crossed by two footbridges, which also flows through Upper Slaughter. At the west end of the village there is a 19th-century water mill with an undershot waterwheel and a chimney for additional steam power. There is a ford where the river widens in the village and several small stone footbridges join the two sides of the community. While the mill is built of red brick most of the 16th and 17th century homes in the village use Cotswold limestone and are adorned with mullioned windows and often with other embellishments such as projecting gables.

An 'also-ran' from last year.
I remember the day well. Clutching my new Pentax camera I'd got for Christmas and desperate to have a play with, and a stunning day with a bitter wind keeping the clouds and other visitors at bay. I pretty much had the village to myself and despite thinking I might never be able to let go of the camera again my hands were so cold, I took about fifty photographs in not so many more yards. But Lower Slaughter is like that. The curve of the stream and the clustered cottages make for a series of changing views every few feet that seem to be designed to fit perfectly into a camera lens.

Here's a photo from our campsite along the Missouri from this past summer. The slaughter campsite was named by the Lewis and Clark expedition due to the 100 or so dead bison that were found in the area. They assumed the buffalo had been run off a cliff, a common way of slaughtering the animals in that day. Later, it was determined that the carcasses had floated down river and accumulated there when the ice broke that year.
This was our last morning on the river. It was a 10 or 12 mile float to our pull-out at Judith Landing. We then headed back to Missoula and were in town by dinner time.
Shooting these lovely birds in the mangroves can be so challenging, except when they decide to take on a higher profile, as this Great Egret did this morning. Their beauty, once a magnet for slaughter, is now safely on full display.
The Cotswolds town of Lower Slaughter is built on both banks of the River Eye and is thought to have been inhabited for at least 1000 years.
One of our favorite activities from our trip to the UK was wandering the Cotswolds on public bridleways. England has “public rights of way” which are paths where anyone is allowed to pass. These often go through the countryside, fields, and even backyards. One of our days in the Cotswolds we took a trek via a public bridleway from Lower Slaughter to Stow-on-the-Wold to Wyck Rissington to Bourton-on-the-Water and then back to Lower Slaughter.
The Cotswold village of Lower Slaughter in March...a time with very few visitors and you can have the place to yourself
One wonders at the name Slaughter given to this beautiful little town on the Cotswold's, UK.
Apparently there are two theories- the name Slaughter comes from the old English word “Slothre” meaning muddy, and so it became known as muddy crossings of the River Eye. Alternatively, Upper Slaughter Manor dates back to the Saxon Period. Sometime in the 12th.
It is a gorgeous little town with quaint buildings, a mill and the river Eye flowing through the middle. A place where time has almost stopped, and horse riders amble along the footpath without the rumble of cars (no cars allowed). My wonderful friend Paul took us here from Wales for a day trip and we visited all the small villages in the Cotswold's. A magnificent day.
American Bison
The American Bison or simply Bison (Bison bison), also commonly known as the American Buffalo or simply Buffalo, is an American species of Bison that once roamed North America in vast herds. Its historical range, by 9000 BC, is described as the Great Bison Belt, a tract of rich grassland that ran from Alaska to the Gulf of Mexico, east to the Atlantic Seaboard (nearly to the Atlantic tidewater in some areas) as far north as New York and south to Georgia and, according to some sources, further south to Florida, with sightings in North Carolina near Buffalo Ford on the Catawba River as late as 1750. It nearly became extinct by a combination of commercial hunting and slaughter in the 19th century and introduction of bovine diseases from domestic cattle. With a population more than 60 million in the late 18th century, the species was down to just 541 animals by 1889. Recovery efforts expanded in the mid-20th century, with a resurgence to roughly 31,000 wild Bison today, largely restricted to a few national parks and reserves. Through multiple reintroductions, the species is now also freely roaming wild in some regions in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, with it also being introduced to Yakutia in Russia.

House in either Upper Slaughter or Lower Slaughter in Gloustershire, England, 2017. I love the old stone buildings and the English gardens I saw in the Cotswolds, which are second only to the people there and the beauty of the area. I cannot wait to visit again.
Lower Slaughter a fascinating name, which derives from 'miry place'. The link is the tiny River Eye, tributary to the nearby river Windrush. Lower Slaughter is just off the Fosse Way. The village is considered to be one of the prettiest in the area and is well photographed and the village has been used for filming and productions.
Lower Slaughter is een zeer pittoresk, typisch Engels dorp in de Cotswolds, Gloucestershire, bekend om zijn honingkleurige stenen huisjes uit de 16e en 17e eeuw en de rustige rivier de Eye die door het centrum stroomt. Gelegen nabij Bourton-on-the-Water, is het beroemd om zijn onveranderde watermolen uit de 19e eeuw, kleine stenen voetbruggetjes en vredige, schilderachtige omgeving.
Lower Slaughter is a highly picturesque, quintessentially English village in the Cotswolds, Gloucestershire, renowned for its 16th-17th century honey-colored stone cottages and the tranquil River Eye flowing through its centre. Located near Bourton-on-the-Water, it is famous for its unchanged, 19th-century water mill, small stone footbridges, and peaceful,, scenic atmosphere.
Not the most inviting of village names but certainly one of the most attractive locations in the Cotswolds. It even manages to look cosy in Winter (must go back in Summer ..)
