Chipping Campden owes its elegance to the wool trade. In fact it was one of the most important medieval wool towns and was famous throughout Europe. The Cotswolds were ideal for sheep and the Abbeys & Monasteries raised huge flocks. The situation can be summed up by a 12th century saying – ” In Europe the best wool is English and in England the best wool is the Cotswold.
