After seven years as a design director, living in Paris and working for the luxury fashion house Louis Vuitton, I decided to return to London and continue my career heading up footwear design at Burberry. I would travel up to the Cotswolds every weekend where I rented a house in Burford. Eventually the commute got the better of me and I decided to move here full time. Initially I bought a house in Moreton-in-Marsh but then four years later I discovered Eastleach, the hidden bygone village lost in time! My partner and I were lucky enough to move to the village, the place we now call home.

Stone stiles are found in many areas of the country and we have some good examples around the CHEQS villages, including the ones shown on this page.
For centuries stone stiles have provided access to people walking along pathways, whilst preventing sheep and cattle from straying. Despite their historic value, scores of these stone stiles have been abandoned and some now lost forever.
Many many thanks to everyone who turned up for the Eastleach Annual Litter Pick on Saturday! So many people helped out that we ran out of high-vis vests and pick-up sticks. As usual the haul was predictable (crisp packets, tins) and surprising (<ahem> six 2L bottles of wee thrown into […]

As the Eastleach jungle drums are beating again, just wanted to let you know, we have been advised by DEFRA that there have been a number of bird flu cases ( they report that this does not affect humans) in wild birds around the country.
A number of concerned parishioners have asked that we post the following that has been put on the parish council website, so please don't shoot the messenger. "So it looks like they still do not want to save the village phone box for future generations."
During these very strange times it is still very important that we remember those who have given their lives for our freedom. Gill O’Shaughnessy has given het kind permission to publish her wonderful book about the Eastleach War Mememorial and the heroes of our village it commemorates, so that is […]
