By 1300, the town of Northleach had become well established, and was
a centre for the wool trade. By exporting wool to Europe, the merchants
were able to put some of their money into the rebuilding of the church,
which is sometimes referred to as 'the Cathedral of the Cotswolds'.
It has many fascinating features including the magnificent memorial
brasses, the font, and the famous Northleach bells |

As you walk in and around Northleach, you can see reminders of the
great days of the wool trade. Sheep still graze in the surrounding
fields |
