Stumbled across this and popped in because I love supporting little local chocolatiers. I bought a few bars as gifts for family and friends. Have started on the raspberry and white chocolate 'shards' as well as the caramel chocolate 'shards', both of which are absolutely stunning. Really good quality and really tasty. I only wish I had bought more!

Called at The Stained Glass shop for afternoon tea what a delight it was, we reserved and were seated in the garden as requested, lovely sunny afternoon we were served within ten minutes by a lovely waiter Seb who recommended afternoon tea as well as the sandwiches/cake to choose from, some of the party chose jacket potatoes with fillings followed by scone jam & cream and some delicious cakes from orange cake lemon cake and oreo cake. It was served and presented like very very enjoyable sat in the garden for over an hour offered re-fill coffee ☕️ it is a lovely place and would highly recommend a visit a little gem, you can peruse round the shop and buy lots of different stained glass things. Definitely a 5*.

10. St Martin on the Hill

Reviewed By MrMrsWilko - Birmingham, United Kingdom
An amazing church with a collection of early PRB creations, a truly rare collection of Burne-Jones, Rossetti, Stanhope, Webb, Maddox Brown, Morris art in original situ in an interesting Bodley Church. Historically interesting too, with it being proto-Catholic/Tractarian in a geography that was not at all! Church is not open every day nor all of the time, so do check its opening times. Very worth a visit if you are a Pre-Raphaelite or Victorian art fan.
