Snowshill

Snowshill (locally /ˈsnoʊzəl/ SNOH-zəl,[1] /ˈsnɒzəl/ SNOZ-əl)[2] is a small Cotswolds village and civil parish in Gloucestershire, England, located near Broadway, Worcestershire.

[3] An important early Bronze Age hoard was found outside Snowshill in the late nineteenth century.

Excavated from a barrow in 1881, it includes a picrite battle-axe and bronze pin, dagger and spear-head.

The manor house contains an unusual collection of furniture, musical instruments, craft tools, toys, clocks, bicycles and armour, all collected by architect and craftsman Charles Paget Wade between 1900 and 1951.

His Arts and Crafts-style gardens are arranged in an eccentric combination of terraces and ponds forming outdoor rooms, with bright colours and delightful scents.
