Things to do in Moreton-in-Marsh, England: The Best Sights & Landmarks
Moreton-in-Marsh is a town civil parish in northeastern Gloucestershire, England. The town is located at the crossroads of the Fosse Way Roman road (now the A429) and the A44. It is served by Moreton-in-Marsh railway station on the Cotswold Line. The parish and environs are relatively flat and low-lying compared with the surrounding Cotswold Hills. The River Evenlode rises near Batsford, runs around the edge of Moreton and meanders towards Oxford, where it flows into the Thames just east of Eynsham. Just over 1.5 miles (2.4 km) east of Moreton, the Four shire stone marked the boundary of the historic counties of Gloucestershire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire and Oxfordshire, until the re-organisation of the county boundaries in 1931. Since then it marks the meeting place of Gloucestershire, Warwickshire and Oxfordshire.

This 15th-century church has a dramatic, but gory, medieval Doom painting featuring angels, devils and trumpets.

Completed in 1612, this is one of the finest and most complete Jacobean houses in England, with scenic gardens and a topiary that are truly Jacobean and Elizabethan in style.

Loved this quirky property as it was 'preserved as it was found', as its last owner lived her life there. No polished woodwork, no gleaming silverware and no signs of extravagance to be seen! The room guides were exceptional, so passionate about the house and so keen to add more information and answer questions throughout our visit. Then being able to go to the church next door for homemade refreshments literally was the 'icing on the cake'. An excellent afternoon throughout.

4. Sezincote House & Garden
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 236 reviews
Sezincote is a unique and extraordinary Indian house set amidst the Cotswold Hills. The architecture is in the Mogul style of Rajasthan, with a central dome, minarets, peacock-tail windows, jali-work railings and pavilions. A curving Orangery frames the Persian Garden of Paradise with its fountain and canals. The house is set within a romantic garden - a fine example of the Picturesque style - with pools, waterfalls, a grotto and a temple to the Hindu Sun God. Sezincote was built in 1810 by Charles Cockerell, who had worked out in India, assisted by his brother, the architect Samuel Pepys Cockerell, and Thomas Daniell, the great painter of Indian architectural scenery.

Sezincote is a unique experience - a magical garden & house with a strong Indian influence. A beautiful green copper dome crowning a long ochre building that looks as though it could have stepped out of a fairy story, a snake fountain & stepping stones across a shady pool, wonderful homemade cake in a stunning Orangery plus much else... We loved the whole experience from start to finish, especially the fact that it is unspoilt & not commercial - so refreshing. We also thought the staff were great - everyone involved at Sezincote is warm, friendly & helpful. We will be back!

Despite our best intentions we were so taken by the quality of the works on display that we bought one! The owner was very helpful and we enjoyed talking to him.

We were staying in Moreton-in-Marsh for a weekend, in a hotel located just across the High Street from the Redesdale Hall. Consequently, we had the opportunity to view the splendid external architecture of this landmark building on numerous occasions. Unfortunately, we did not have the opportunity to visit the interior of this fine community hall because a local music festival was being held in one of the car-parks adjacent to the hall on the Saturday. On the Sunday, the hall was closed. The building’s size and its distinctive architecture certainly make it to stand out in the town centre and it is visible from some distance away in both directions along the High Street. It would certainly be very difficult to miss this large, wonderful building should you be visiting Moreton-in-Marsh!
