Bradford-on-Avon

Written on 28 July 2013.

Attractively set in, and along the side of, the Avon Valley, the town has many fine buildings, including probably the finest Saxon church in the country.  It has a long history of cloth manufacture, and was the site of an early rubber factory, established by Stephen Moulton, great-grandfather to Sir Alex Moulton, who worked on the development of the suspension the Mini and other BMC and BL cars.
