Description
Street with pretty vintage cottage houses in Broadway, Cotswolds in Worcestershire, UK
After the Norman Conquest six new market towns were founded in Broadway, Chipping Campden, Moreton-in-Marsh, Stow-on-the-Wold, Burford and Northleach. Winchcombe was the head of a small shire before this. The Normans built a stone church in nearly every manor and more than half the land was owned by monastries. The closure of the monastries brought new gentry, whose gabled stone houses are an important legacy.
The street through Broadway was an ancient 'ridgeway' and the main road from Worcester to London. It remains a wide street or 'broad way' hence the name.
