The village of Blockley, located in the north of the Cotswolds, is a quiet, unassuming village that seems to be famous only for being the location of a popular TV series, Father Brown.
This fame draws in thousands of tourists who search for the parish church featured in the TV programs and may miss out on the remarkable history of the village.
At one time, Blockley was ranked in the top 20% of all settlements in England for size and has a significant history of heavy industry.
It has had to reinvent itself on multiple occasions to keep up with a changing world.

Today it's a beautiful, quiet village, steeped in history, where the sounds of a rushing brook is never more than a few steps away, and it is waiting to be discovered once more
