The small market town of Shipston-on-Stour is situated in South Warwickshire
and ideally located for visitors to Stratford-upon-Avon and is surrounded
by places of interest including Chipping Campden, Broadway, and Moreton-in-Marsh.
The towns name derives from being known in ancient times as 'Sheep-wash-Town'.
Shipston was for a long time an important sheep market town and after
the demand for local wool began to diminish the town continued to flourish
thanks to the opening in 1836 of a branch line from the horse-powered
tramway built a decade before to link Stratford with Moreton-in-Marsh.
The line became a modern railway in 1889. The town was also an important
coaching town and many of the inns from that era surviving in the area
of the High Street. |
