STOW-ON-THE-WOLD GloucestershireQueen Henrietta Place

Located in a quiet location just off

Founded in 1984 to focus on the creation of

developments of character and quality to suit the

needs of a growing population of over 55s,

Beechcroft has, over the years, gained an enviable

reputation for its high quality housing.

Beechcroft selects the best locations in some of

the most attractive villages and small towns in

Southern England. Each development is built and

finished to Beechcroft’s award-winning standards

whilst each home, whether new build or conversion,

provides spacious, flexible living accommodation

designed according to Beechcroft’s principle

of creating fewer rooms rather than less space.

Hallways and landings are generously-

proportioned, principal rooms are able to

accommodate larger pieces of furniture and,

in homes with two or more bedrooms,

each is a double bedroom.

Each Beechcroft development also offers

something ‘special’ from extensive landscaped

gardens to attractive waterside settings or a private

swimming pavilion.

Beechcroft homes are ideal for those looking to

move from a large family house to a more

manageable home or for those looking for a ‘lock

up and leave’ property that will enable them to

travel or spend time abroad.

Designed with the over 55s in mind

STOW-ON-THE-WOLD GloucestershireQueen Henrietta Place

Stow-on-the-Wold, situated at the junction of

eight roads, including the Roman Fosse Way, is

one of the best-known towns in the Cotswolds.

A single glimpse of the picturesque Market Square

with its ancient cross, town stocks and beautiful,

mellow buildings, reveals a sense of the history

and charm that make this town a popular place

to visit and live.

Tradition suggests that the town was originally

named St Edward’s Stowe, after Edward, a

missionary who lived as a hermit at the town’s well.

As ‘Stowe’ means holy place and ‘Wold’ means hill,

the town later became known as Stow-on-the-

Wold. Today, St Edward is still evident in the town;

St Edward’s Church was built between the 11th and

15th centuries and St Edward’s Hall, built in the

Market Square in 1878, which now houses the

town’s library, has a figure of St Edward in a niche

over the main entrance.

Wells have played an important part in the life of

Stow-on-the-Wold; until fairly recent times, the

springs on Well Lane supplied the town with water.

In the early days, women and children carried the

water using yokes and buckets and, later, water

carts were used to transport the water to the town

where it was sold for a farthing a bucket!

Today, the refurbished top well in Well Lane is

Grade II Listed.
