Marshfield is an ancient Market town positioned on the slopes of the Cotswolds in the county of Gloucestershire, home to over fourteen hundred people. This attractive village is surrounded by farmland and open countryside and has a wealth of historical houses and buildings from across the ages. A stroll up the High Street will reveal houses and shops from the elegant era of the 17th and 18th Centuries with glimpses of open countryside, and a 17th Century Coaching Inn at one end. Marshfield dates far back in time to the Saxons and beyond, and was granted its Market Charter back in the 13th Century, the village grew and prospered with its agricultural activities, Malt production which was supplied to nearby Bath and Bristol, and the Wool trade which played an important part in its growth and development. At the eastern edge of the village stands a 15th Century church with a fabulous tower which graces the skyline, the church is dedicated to St Mary's and rests on the site of an earlier 13th Century church. Walkers and cyclists are spoilt for choice with the footpaths in every direction across glorious countryside, and artists and photographers should stroll up St Martin's Lane for stunning views which won't fail to impress.
