The Cotswolds

Little Barrington

Little Barrington is a very picturesque Cotswold village with a lot of history. Thomas Strong from Barrington was considered to be the finest Stonemason of his time and worked on St Paul's Cathederal with Sir Christopher Wren but died before its completion. Strong left money in his will to the Barrington villages to build a stone crossing over the River Windrush and he stated that the bridge should be wide enough to allow two men to carry a corpse across it in safety. Situated south of Bourton-on-the-Water and close to Great Barrington, Little Barrington truly is a village not to be missed.
