Grevel House

The Cotswolds


Built around 1380 for the supremely prosperous wool merchant William Grevel, complete with gargoyles and mullioned windows, Grevel House is Chipping Campden's oldest building. It’s still a private home, but you can admire its splendid Perpendicular Gothic–style gabled window and sundial from the street.
