Badbury Hill is home to the Iron Age Badbury Camp, a circular hill fort partially leveled in the 19th century. It’s thought to be a possible site of the Battle of Mons Badonicus. The hill also has a WWII firing range on its west side. Today, Badbury Clump, a nine-acre wooded area, is known for its bluebells in May and is a popular spot for walkers and dog owners. It’s now managed by the National Trust.

On the patronage of this church dedicated to "Saint LAWRENCE": He is one of the early Christian Roman martyrs from a time when Christianity was still strictly forbidden. He was archdeacon of Pope Sixtus II and after his execution was ordered by the pagan emperor Valerian to hand over the treasure of the church to him. Laurentius asked for three days to do this, distributed the church's assets among the poor inhabitants of Rome and, after the agreed time, came to the emperor with the poor to present them to him as the treasure of the church. He was then tortured to death. Legend has it that he was roasted alive on a grate - this attribute can be seen in many depictions of Saint Lawrence - over coals. He is said to have been in good spirits and asked his executioner if he would turn him over. The memorial day of Saint Lawrence in the calendar of saints is August 10th, the recorded date of his execution in A.D. 258.

13th-century stone barn

Ancient tithe barn, built for the Monestry

A gorgeous rural lane which is just about manageable on a road bike... but might be a different story in the winter! There is quite a lot of grit around and a few potholes to avoid.

Famous for it’s Spring time Bluebells and if you are lucky there might be an ice cream van!

The building which you see now, was completed in 1476; but there was certainly a Church on the same site before that. Only small fragments of this earlier church remain – possibly the font, the figure of St Agatha in the north aisle, and 13th Century piscine in the south aisle. Lechlade spireIt is known that there was a Church dedicated to St Lawrence in 1255 and that this Church was one of the few in England that had the privilege of sanctuary, but earlier than that we cannot go with any certainty, although there is mention of the parish of Lechlade in 1086 in the Domesday Book. Excavation carried out on the edge of the town in 1985 revealed Christian burials dating from the mid 7th Century AD, so that there is every reason to believe that there was a Saxon Church here. The building of the present Church building began around the year 1472 when Conrad Ney was vicar. The money came from the dissolution of the Priory under Cecily, Duchess of York, mother of King Edward IVth and the inhabitants of the town, including wealthy wool merchants. Cecily, Duchess of York, founded three chauntries to her late husband, Richard, Duke of York executed by the Lancastrians and other members of her family. The Church building is a particularly fine example of a wholly perpendicular style, consisting of nave with clerestory; north and south aisles; chancel with chapels to the Blessed Virgin to the north (where the organ now is) and the south (St Blaise); a particularly fine north porch and tower with spire. The building is of dressed freestone from Taynton Quarry near Burford. It was the same stone from Taynton which was brought to Lechlade and then shipped down the Thames to London to be used in the building of St Paul’s Cathedral. https://www.stlawrencelechlade.org.uk/who-we-are/history/
