The first sign of occupation in Blockley is from the Saxon period, with skeletons, spears and knives discovered in a Saxon burial site in the village. In 855 AD, the King of Mercia sold the village to the Bishops of Worcester.

Historic architecture
The Cotswolds is known for its honey-stone buildings, but Blockley has some of the brightest around. One of our favourite things to do in Blockley is to wander the streets and admire its historic buildings. Blockley was made a conservation area in 1976 to preserve its character. Some of the buildings date back to the medieval period, but many of the houses you can see today – like along Northwick Terrace – were built in the 18th century for the ‘throwsters’ who moved to the area from places l...
Church of St Peter and St Paul
Blockley’s Norman Church of St Peter and St Paul was built around 1180 for the Bishops of Worcester on the site of an earlier Saxon minister. And you can see some of the original Norman stonework on the four walls of the chancel, and the east, south and west walls of the nave. It’s undergone repairs and improvements over the years, including replacing the Norman tower in 1727 and building new galleries in the late 18th century to fit in all the extra silk mill workers who’d moved to the area....

By car

By public transport
Unfortunately Blockley’s railway station was closed and demolished in 1966. So the nearest train station now is in Moreton-in-Marsh, which is connected to Blockley by the Stagecoach 1/2 bus in around 15 minutes (except Sundays). Or you can take the 1/2 in the other direction to Broadway (15 minutes), Chipping Campden (35 minutes) or Stratford-upon-Avon (1 hour).
