The Story of Bibury

The Past

Bibury, on the River Coln, has long been described as one of England’s most beautiful villages. Arlington Row, built in the 14th century as wool stores and later converted to cottages, is now protected by the National Trust.

Famous Visitors

William Morris, father of the Arts and Crafts Movement, called Bibury “the most beautiful village in England”.

Hirohito, later Emperor of Japan, visited in 1921, captivated by Arlington Row.

L.S Lowry sketched its iconic charm in 1930.

The Present

Once in peril, the buildings now house Eleven Bibury. Their facades remain unchanged, but their interiors have been carefully restored to preserve original details while overlaying contemporary design and purpose. As William Morris said: “Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.”

The Gloucestershire Guild of Craftsmen

In partnership with The Gloucestershire Guild of Craftsmen, Eleven Bibury is home to an evolving exhibition of fine contemporary craft. The Guild, founded in 1933, represents some of Britain’s most accomplished Makers - artisans whose work combines heritage skill with modern design.

From ceramics and glass, to textiles, wood and jewellery, each piece is handcrafted with integrity and care. Together, they reflect the Cotswolds’ long tradition of creativity while offering fresh, distinctive work for the 21st century.
