Sinopsis

The Cotswold village of Colesbourne straddles the picturesque valley of the River Churn, as it descends from Seven Springs to Cirencester. Since the 1780s, the historic Colesbourne Estate has been in the ownershipáof the Elwes family. It was Henry John Elwes who in the 1870s began ColesbourneâÇÖs now world-famous snowdrop collection.áIn this new account, Sir Henry Elwes, who served from 1992 to 2010áas Her MajestyâÇÖs Lord-Lieutenant of Gloucestershire, draws on unique estate and family archives to paint a vivid picture of a community that saw many changes in the 20th century, yet still thrives today. A fascinating blend of local and personal histories, the book is profusely illustrated, many of the images being published here for the first time.
