The ford at Upper Slaughter

The word  'Slaughter' comes from the old English word 'Slohtre', nothing to do with slaughtering anyone, it means 'Muddy Place'.  I guess that makes sense as the river runs right through the middle of the village.  Not so muddy now though this and its neighbour Lower Slaughter are amongst the most cared for villages in the Cotswolds
