Winchcombe bench

HBM - This bench is on the main street in the small Cotswold market town of Winchcombe, dating back to the Anglo-Saxon era. The town still has many buildings and features dating back to medieval times, and more recently, in 2021 it was the site of a meteorite strike of worldwide astronomical interest.

As a bonus, the wall behind the bench has a 'ghost door', that used to lead to the grounds of Winchcombe Abbey.

The sign on the wall reads "Abbey Terrace, known by locals as the High Walk, was created in 1835. The main gate and grounds of Winchcombe Abbey stood northwards from here."
