The Cotswolds offer a lovely collection of small villages, but none more so than the town of Stanton.

This place is very quiet with no amenities for tourists at all. Yet it is filled with lovely homes and pretty walks . . . and a horse riding school!

St. Michael and All Angels Church is very old and quaint, but still the "public" center of the village.

John Wesley preached here and visited frequently, apparently.

Jim posed near the only sign we could find with the name Stanton in it. So far as we know, the family has no connections with the village. Stanton means "Dweller in the house of stone," and there are plenty of those here. So who knows?

The manor house was already occupied, darn it! Looks fairly comfortable.
