Wotton-under-Edge
Wotton-under-Egde's history has always been linked to the fortunes of the Berkeley family.
In 1252, Lady Berkeley obtained a Royal Charter for the town to hold a weekly market and yearly fair. The following year she granted a deed which set up Wotton as a borough. This gave the inhabitants the right to make their living without obligation to work for the Lord of the Manor.
By 1470, together with Wiltshire and Somerset, Gloucestershire was producing one third of the woollen cloth made in England. This trade was the backbone of local prosperity for the next 400 years.
As with many Cotswold towns the prosperity brought by the wool trade can be seen today. With its shop-lined streets and historical buildings, a visit to Wotton-under-Edge offers something for everyone.
