So, today we are out and about walking at very first light in the village Of Bisley which is located around 4 miles east of Stroud in Gloucestershire. Bisley was a former civil parish but is now in the parish of Bisley-with-Lypiatt and comes under the Stroud district.
The village has two public houses, The Bear Inn and The Stirrup Cup. The parish church is the church of All Saints and is thought to possibly be of Anglo-Saxon origins.
During the walk we note two prominent features. The first feature is the village lockup, this is where drunks & petty criminals would of been locked up before appearing before the magistrate, the building would of originally had solid oak doors on it. The second feature is known as "Seven Wells" as it actually has seven springs emerging from the hillside out of the stone structure which is on Wells Lane. Due to the parked cars in front of the springs it was a little tricky getting a good landscape shot of the springs.
Over the years Bisley has been home to some well known people which include Jilly & Leo Cooper (Author & Publisher respectively), Denis Parsons Burkitt (Surgeon & Cancer Researcher), Mike Oldfield (Musician) and finally Michael sadleir (Novelist, Bibliographer, Book Collector & Publisher).
This video probably has some of the loudest birds sounds that I have heard so far, please use headphones for a full immersive binaural sound.
See if you can spot the hidden OAAW logo within the video - hint - its quite small and on the left quadrant of the screen.
Thanks for watching.
