  Little Fleece Bookshop
We had the pleasure of visiting here, and our information is based on our personal experiences  

The Little Fleece Bookshop is a 17th century house in typical Cotswold style, built of local warm-toned limestone. The building was once part of an inn (hence the name) but is now a private dwelling and National Trust book store. Though it was built in the 17th century, the house was remodelled in attractive Arts and Crafts style during the 1930s and remains an excellent example of Arts and Crafts ideas.

Location: Park in the village car park (not National Trust) and the Bookshop is a short stroll away.
