The attractive village of Great Coxwell has a surprising amount to offer within walking distance of our showrooms.

Great Coxwell Barn is a Medieval tithe barn at Great Coxwell, Oxfordshire (formerly Berkshire), England. It is on the northern edge of the village of Great Coxwell, which is about 9 miles (14 km) northeast of Swindon in neighbouring Wiltshire.

The barn was built about 1292 for the Cistercian Beaulieu Abbey in Hampshire, which had held the manor of Great Coxwell since 1205. Since 1956 it has been in the care of the National Trust.

The barn has been a Grade I listed building since 1966[1] and is also a Scheduled Ancient Monument.[2]

Filkins even has its own outdoor swimming pool, which is a popular attraction during the summer months!

Just four miles from the village of Filkins is the small village of Kelmscott, once home to the influential socialist and artist, William Morris. As can be seen on the cover of his fantasy book ‘News from Nowhere’ his summer residence, Kelmscott Manor, has not changed one bit in over 115 years and is well worth a visit.
