Northleach - The Cotswolds Photos

Northleach, a historic market town filled with stone buildings, is noted for the Perpendicular style Church of St. Peter & St. Paul whose reconstruction dates from late 14th & early 15thC. The interior is graced by a large modern (1963 by Christopher Webb) stained glass window in the chancel, and modern wooden seating (made by Sir Gordon Russell) with colorful needlepoint cushions.
