Wotton Auction Rooms are located on the western edge of the Cotswolds in the town of Wotton-under-Edge. The Rooms occupy an enviable position in the old Tabernacle overlooking the pleasant spread of the village. Wotton is serviced by bus from Gloucester, Cheltenham and Stroud which in turn are on main line railway routes. 

Within Wotton itself are a number of cafes and restaurants, many hotels and B&Bs trade in the surrounding area. The Cotswolds considered by many to be one of the most beautiful areas of the British Isles and has been occupied from the earliest times. The vast number of burial mounds and encampments should be proof enough of that. Later the area was settled by the Romans who for a while made Cirencester the capital. The Middle Ages saw The Cotswolds flourish as the foremost wool producing area in the country, only to decline in the18th century. Cheltenham and Bath rose as Spas in the late 18th century and early 19th century and the Cotswold villages continued their quiet existence base on agriculture.

It is from such a background that much of the contents of our monthly sales are gleaned. It is a wonderful place in which to live and work and which we never take for granted.

This section gives details on these and other aspects of travelling to and staying in Wotton-under-Edge. We hope you enjoy it.
