Eleventh Churchill Show

This event at Churchill in the North Cotswolds is far and away the most famous show in the area. You can see 400 cars including those which you won't see anywhere else, together with bikes, engines, autojumble, sideshows and teas by the WI (NB: Teas not Tease!!).
It only happens every two years.

Notes

There was an entrance fee of £6 per vehicle.
All proceeds went to charity.

Churchill Village

Churchill is an ancient place of habitation. Roman and Saxon remains have been found there, Churchill and Sarsden were Saxon Manors, and Churchill was mentioned in the Domesday Book (1086).

Although it is a small village it has some very fine buildings and is known locally for its array of independent furniture workshops.

Among its attractions are two churches; a memorial to William Smith (the founder of modern geology); an unusual Victorian Gothic Fountain; a Heritage Centre; and an 18 foot Tapestry in the village hall celebrating the millenium in 2000, and showing 1000 years of village history.

Among its famous sons are Warren Hastings - 1773 - first Governor General of India, and William Smith - 1831 - Canal Builder, Map Maker & "Father of English Geology"!
