This was a children's playground on the grounds of a large castle.

Creepy
Another window display. This mother cat (Duchess) and her nursing kittens actually moved. Really scary! This store sold only cats.
Chipping Campden Market
The towns in this area were built on wool profits. There are huge palaces and estates which housed the wool lords. This was the market in the middle of town, erected in 1627, although the Cotswold wool was sold world wide back in the 1300's. Chipping means market and there are a number of villages starting with 'Chipping'.
Chipping Campden Floor
The floor of the market. Thousands upon thousands of sheep were brought here to sell.
It's so worn, it's hard to walk on.
Knitting Gone Wild
All these knitted guys, or maybe a Jesus look alike contest. Loved their beards! And look at the host and chalice with wine. Too cute.
