"This 19th century roadside spring was a main source of clean water for the village into the 20th century. The spring was donated to the village by Mrs. William (Lucy) Russell. The later inscription reads: "Water from the living rock God's precious gift to man". The spring is part of a structure that is a Grade II Listed Building."

A hidden gem within the beautiful village of Blockley. Follow the public footpath on a short detour off the High Street. The babbling brook can be heard but not seen from several places but if you take the path behind the houses it breaks cover for a short distance.

I grew up near Blockley . It has changed a fair bit. But as a place to go walking it's excellent. The better walking involves some hills!!. There's a good cafe there. The walk up Dovedale is beautiful. The church is used for the filming of Fr Brown.

Great breakfast / lunch at Cafe Morel

Excellent coffee & food menu.

The church in Blockley was dedicated to the two Saints PETER & PAUL, also known as the "Prince of the Apostles". Their common feast day in the calendar of saints is June 29th for all major denominations. * Simon, nicknamed Peter (Rock), was a fisherman on Lake Genesareth when he was called by Jesus Christ to be a "fisher of men" together with his brother Andrew. In works of fine art, Peter is almost always depicted with two keys in his hand; this attribute refers to the Bible verse in Matthew: "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." (Chapter 16, Verse 19). * Paul was initially an opponent of the Christian movement and was not called to the apostleship by Jesus Christ during his lifetime like the other apostles, but was only converted later with the famous "Damascus experience". His attribute is the sword with which he was executed. According to the Roman law of the time, such a sentence was a "privilege" (quick death and not, like other forms of execution, a long, painful death struggle) that was reserved for the citizens of Rome.

Paxford Mission Church was restored and converted in 2020 into a beautiful and luxurious self-catering holiday let. Now known as The Old Mission Church it would make a fantastic base to explore the Cotswolds. More details at www.theoldmissionchurch.com
