Adlestrop
Adlestrop (/ˈædəlstrɒp/) is a village and civil parish in the Cotswolds, 3 miles (5 km) east of Stow-on-the-Wold, Gloucestershire, England, on the county boundary with Oxfordshire. The River Evenlode forms the southwest boundary of the parish. The village is on a stream that flows southwest to join the river.
The A436 road, which links the A44 road in Oxfordshire with Stow-on-the-Wold, passes through the parish just south of the village. The Cotswold Line railway passes along the Evenlode valley southwest of the village and until 1966 had a station here. The village is best known for the 1917 poem "Adlestrop" by Edward Thomas, which tells of an unexpected stop at the station.
Since 1935 the parish of Adlestrop has included the village of Daylesford. The 2011 Census recorded the parish population as 120.
About 1 mile (1.6 km) northeast of the village is a tumulus about 26 metres (85 ft) long and 16 metres (52 ft) wide. The tumulus is low, only 2 feet 6 inches (0.8 m) high at one end and 5 feet (1.5 m) at the other. It is near the Iron Age hill fort in the adjoining Oxfordshire parish of Chastleton.
Romano-British pottery and a coin of the usurper-emperor Allectus (died 296) have been found at the tumulus. The tumulus is a Scheduled Monument.
The Domesday Book of 1086 records the place-name as Tedestrop. A Charter Roll of 1251 records it as Tatletrop and the Codex Diplomaticus Aevi Saxonici records it as Tatlestrop. The name is derived from the Old English þrop for a village, combined with the name of a person called Tātel or Tǣtel.
King Coenred of Mercia is said to have granted the manor of Adlestrop to Evesham Abbey in AD 708. In the 10th century the manor was assessed at seven hides. The Abbey continued to hold the manor until 1540 when it surrendered all its estates to the Crown in the Dissolution of the Monasteries.
In 1553 the Crown sold Adlestrop manor to Sir Thomas Leigh, who in 1558 was elected Lord Mayor of London. The manor descended in the Leigh family to Chandos Leigh (1791–1850), who in 1839 was created Baron Leigh. Adlestrop remained in the Leigh family in 1960.
