About Stroud

  • Stroud's Farmers' Market, held every Saturday in the town centre, is one of the most celebrated farmers' markets in Britain — an event that has been running since 1999 and that has been credited with helping to revitalise the town centre and to establish Stroud's reputation as a centre of independent, ethical, and sustainable living. The market, which attracts over 60 stalls selling local produce, crafts, and food, is one of the most important social institutions in the town and reflects the values of the community of artists, craftspeople, and environmentalists who have been drawn to Stroud since the 1970s.
  • Woodchester Mansion, an unfinished Victorian Gothic house in a secluded valley near Stroud, is one of the most extraordinary buildings in Britain — a house that was begun in 1858 and abandoned in 1873, leaving the interior in a state of permanent incompleteness, with scaffolding still in place, tools left where they were put down, and the building frozen at the moment of abandonment. The house, which was designed by Benjamin Bucknall in the style of the French Gothic Revival architect Viollet-le-Duc, is a masterpiece of Victorian craftsmanship, and the quality of the stonework, the carving, and the structural engineering is extraordinary. The house is open to the public on selected days and is one of the most unusual visitor attractions in Gloucestershire.
  • The Stroud Valleys, the five valleys that converge at Stroud, were the centre of the West of England cloth trade from the medieval period to the early 20th century — a landscape of fast-flowing streams, cloth mills, and weavers' cottages that produced the finest broadcloth in Britain. The scarlet cloth made in the Stroud Valleys was used for the uniforms of the British Army from the 18th century onwards, and the phrase 'Stroud Scarlet' became synonymous with the highest quality military cloth. The cloth industry has largely disappeared from the valleys, but the mill buildings — many of which have been converted into apartments, offices, and studios — are one of the most important industrial heritage landscapes in the Cotswolds.
