Where's That Then? No 38

I hope this doesn't cause as much distress as last week's.

That looks like Northleach in Gloucestershire.

Certainly is Wilko - well done. Home to one of the most extraordianry private family military museums. The Fleming family have a huge military heritage and I remember being shown around by an enthusiastic 12 year old Fergus, from memory the attic rooms of the house were absoloutely bursting with uniforms, campaign luggage, medals, weapons, diaries and journals - I do hope it's all still there.

Lots of interesting stuff in and around Northleach - e.g. a stonking wool church, a museum of 'mechanical music', and a rather fine old gaol - but I'm not aware of the collection you mention, Diplo. But it may well still be there in its attic.

There's also the ruins of a fantastic Roman Villa not far away at Chedworth with large sections of beautiful mosaic flooring intact. I've spent a delightful Sunday enjoying a lovely roast dinner in the Sherbourne Arms while the rain outside made being inside a delight.
I'm a new visitor from Australia but a great lover of the English countryside, so I am really enjoying your quiz and I'm extremely happy when I actually recognise somewhere.
Cheers
Helen

Sorry to be so late coming back to you all, but well done Wilko and welcome Helsie. I've been three days in Cornwall finishing off a book, but that's no excuse.

Sounded painful...
