This morning I woke up and decided to go for a walk to the Library to see what exciting news they could tell me about Shipston-On-Stour. They provided me with their heritage walk leaflet so I decided to take this while I waited for the internet to be fixed.
The Small Merino
Shipston-On-Stour is an attractive market town with some buildings that date back unto the 16th Century nestled in the River Stour valley. In the 8th Century the town was called Scepwaeisctune or Sheep Wash Town and the sheep and horse are most definitely represented throughout the town.
Most interesting was the The Black Horse Inn which dates back to the 1500s.
A reasonably interesting walk but with roughly 2000 residents currently it's hardly a big town so both heritage walks were undertaken quite quickly.On return to t'Mill there was still no internet so I quickly decided to cut my loses and forgo the planned Trivia night with Jared that night and head off to Birmingham.
