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.
In The Cotswolds
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!
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
Back in the medieval era England's wealth was based on the wool trade, and to reflect this the Lord Chancellor (now known as the Lord Speaker) in the House of Lords still sits on the Woolsack.
The Cotswolds, along with East Anglia and the Yorkshire Dales, was - and remains - one of the most important areas for sheep farming. This is reflected in many of the churches in the larger towns which had large extensions built, normally in the 15th century. An example is shown below. These were funded by rich wool merchants and the churches became known as wool churches.

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 ..)

The Cotswold village of Lower Slaughter in March...the chap on the right was wheeling an enormous flower pot
The Cotswold village of Lower Slaughter in March... the Old Mill at the western end of the village was built in the nineteenth century, and last used commercially in 1958. The Mill now has a tea and gift shop.
Back to last year's brief visit to Lower Slaughter, a beautiful little village in the Cotswolds. This is about a mile away from Bourton on the Water, with which it shares a number of similarities - apart from the hordes of tourists.
We came across Lower Slaughter just over a year ago as we drove back from a trip to Bath, and immediately fell in love with the place. It is quite simply one of the prettiest villages that I have come across. With its beautiful Cotswold stone cottages, its shallow river, old watermill and low footbridges it reminds me of Bourton on the Water, which lies just over a mile away. The River Eye (seen here) feeds into the River Windrush to the south of Bourton on the Water.
