Brief description

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welford-on-Avon

"Welford-on-Avon is a village and civil parish situated some 4 miles (6 km) west-south-west of Stratford-upon-Avon in the county of Warwickshire, England. The population of the parish was measured at 1,420 in the 2011 census.[1] Until 1931, Welford-on-Avon was in Gloucestershire (as part of the Rural District of Marston Sicca), when it was transferred to Stratford-on-Avon Rural District. Since 1974 it has been part of the Stratford-on-Avon District. Welford sits within a meander of the river Avon, on the south bank of the river. The village maypole is one of the tallest in England (at 65 feet / 20 metres). It used to be wooden but was replaced by an aluminium pole following a lightning strike. There are three pubs and many Tudor half-timbered and thatched cottages, mostly close to the village church, which is in the oldest part of Welford.[2] Historically there were two railway stations within two miles of the centre of the village, Binton (1885-1949) and Milcote (1859-1966)."
