Shipton Moyne

Shipton Moyne is a village and civil parish in the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England, approximately 105 miles west of London.

A beerhouse on the west side of the village street was recorded in the early 19th century and was presumably occupied by the beer-retailers listed in the parish later.

Apparently still unnamed in 1891, it was called the Estcourt Arms in 1927 but by 1931 the name had been changed to the Cat and Custard Pot.

A south aisle was constructed with a new tower at the south-west corner providing a belfry and entrance.

He was an eminent architect and had a large practice that included work on many Wiltshire churches owing to his patronage by the Beauforts.

Built by Bevington and Sons of Soho, London and restored by Osmond & Co. of Taunton in 1995, the organ has one manual electrically operated blower.

Facing west in the tower, the clock was made by John Smith & Sons of Derby in 1887.

The Fosse Way, the only Roman road in Britain to retain its original Latin name – most others having been renamed by the Saxons – passes through Shipton Moyne.

Its route takes it from Exeter (Isca Dumnoniorum) in southwest England, to Lincoln (Lindum) in the East Midlands, via Bath (Aquae Sulis), Cirencester (Corinium) and Leicester (Ratae Coritanorum).
