Hart Gold and Silversmiths

Reviewed By 712cliveb - Flintshire, United Kingdom

We were advised by the Tourist Information Centre to visit here. How right they were! What an amazing experience walking into a time warp. The Hart family have been working here since very early in the c.20th when they uprooted from London and came here with the Arts & Crafts movement. Talking with these amazing artisans whilst they beat and file the silver to shape using tools that are well over 100 years old is simply awe inspiring. They are so proud of their roots - rightly so! The finished products are beautiful works of art.

St. James' Church

This stately church, built in the 1400s, is the town's famous Perpendicular wool church, which can be seen from miles around.

Reviewed By 968nicholash - London, United Kingdom

Although there was a Norman church on this site from the 12th century, the present structure has evolved since the middle of the 13th century. There is a wealth of history to be found here, including a unique pair of Altar hanging Frontals (c.1500) which were copied at the request of Queen Mary for the High Altar of Westminster Abbey for George V's coronation ceremony in 1912. There is also possibly the earliest surviving example of a Cope, which dates from around 1400. The original stained glass windows from the 15th century have almost all been replaced, with only small fragments remaining. The Jacobean pulpit and Flemish lectern were gifts from Sir Baptist Hicks, whose ornate tomb is in the Gainsborough Chapel. This is a magnificent church, well worth visiting.

Arrived to a warm welcome from the staff at the bar & shown to our room. Totally covid compliant throughout. Large room, with lovely big comfy bed and fluffy white towels. Everything provided in the room for a couple of nights away (shower gel, hand soap, hairdryer, plus usual refreshments) Ate dinner here twice and enjoyed everything. The mushroom starter was delicious. Excellent beef, lamb shank & steak & kidney pie. Good breakfast choice with very good cooked breakfast. Lovely wholegrain toast! Could not fault the staff who were always friendly and attentive. Would definitely stay here again & highly recommend, you will not be disappointed.

My husband and I were both really taken by the quality of workmanship and the great appeal and variety of the pieces on display. We surprised ourselves by buying two significant items when buying one was rare for us. We will certainly return when we are again in the area as the items on display are changed frequently.

Looked for somewhere to have Sunday lunch, left it late as normal so booked on Saturday afternoon. Website does not look great and thought may have made a mistake. How wrong was I, a little gem, lovely atmosphere, made very welcome and a great garden to sit in if I wished. Arrived an hour early but this was not a problem as table was reserved for us and mor than happy for us to eat early, how different than the Ebrington Arms, ( avoid, avoid avoid)they should come here for staff training. Meal was great,starters large and roast was nice and tasty and extra gravy ! My wife had scampi as not to keen on a roast and this was lovely and tasty too. A hidden gem, well worth a visit.....

This shop in lovely Chipping Campden is somewhere you can browse for a good bottle of wine, some tasty cheese and all manner of foodie items. Have a decent coffee or a light bite at a little table outside and watch the town go by.
