Facing the market square, a stone-built 15th-century property that has variously hosted a monks’ chanting-house, a post office, and a coaching inn, has been overhauled by Sebastian and Lana Snow (see also The Plough at Kelmscott).

Henry VIII gave the manor of Barnsley to each wife in turn – the old romantic! – before it passed to the Bourchier family, who built this Cotswold stone house in the 1690s.

Quirky and sophisticated: Lana and Sebastian Snow twist expectations at their 18th-century Cotswold dining pub-with-rooms.
