Cowley is set in beautiful countryside in Gloucestershire on the edge of the Cotswolds.
The 13th Century church of St. Mary the Virgin looks well cared for, and is very close to the old Manor house, now an hotel.
Any information we have given here is taken from the guide leaflets available inside the church.
