Broad Campden
The village of Broad Campden has been described as picturesque. It is
an apt description. The village is set in rolling countryside, surrounded
by fields of grazing sheep, and dissected by streams. The cottages that
line the High Street are built of lovely golden Cotswold stone, as is
the parish church, notable for its unusual round bellcote.
The name Campden appears to be derived from a Saxon phrase meaning,
"Valley with fields." The Campden parish, composed of Chipping Campden,
Broad Campden, Berrington, and Wessington, was held by King Harold at
the time of the Norman Conquest.
