About this book
A Cotswold Village concerns country life and pursuits in Gloucestershire. The narrator recalls a journey from Chepstow to Gloucester on May-day, expressing amazement at the beauty of the views. The description of the Severn at low tide includes yellow sands, green meadows, distant Cotswold Hills and a landscape of pear orchards in full bloom.
The account of a chamber reports that nothing but lime-dust and dirt was found inside. Local inhabitants consider a small underground chamber a shepherd's hut, while students of burial mounds declare it an early structure that contained uncremated bodies. The narrator expresses relief at reaching home safely after racing a storm and encountering startling atmospheric phenomena.
