BEDFONT HOUSE, HIGH STREET, CHIPPING CAMPDEN
House names as we know them today were not given to houses in Campden until around the turn of the 20th century. Many houses were known by the families who had lived in them, some centuries before. With the opening of the station in 1853 and the growth of the postal services there came a need for change. The house has no name in early censuses.
It was built in the 1740s for one Thomas Cotterell of Saintbury. Little is known of this family before they came to Campden. The old churchyard in Saintbury is fairly overgrown and the gravestones have suffered badly over the years, now mostly unreadable. No Cotterell graves could be found apart from one near the east end of the Church which needed a great deal of imagination to make out the name. Inside the church, however, there is a grave in the floor near the pulpit, of the grandmother of Thomas who was to build his house in Campden:
Here Lyeth the Body of Hannah Cotterell Daughter of John Loggin of Marston Sicca in The Countey of Gloucester Gent and Wife of Thomas Cotterell who Departed this Life December the 1 Anno Domini 1690 And in the 36th Year of her age in certain Hopes of joyfull resurrection
Marston Sicca is an old name for Long Marston and the parish church of Long Marston is known today as St James the Great, Marston Sicca. Hannah died in 1690 but she had only married in July 1688. The Cotterells seem to have made their money from the law and land. Thomas Cotterell was born in Saintbury in 1710, the son of Edward Cotterell and Alice nee Foster. In 1734 he married Elizabeth Stokes, daughter of John Stokes MD of Campden at Condicote. Elizabeth was a great great granddaughter of Robert Dover.
In the 1740s the house was built for Thomas by Thomas Woodward. In 1719 the Campden stonemason Thomas Woodward leased Westington Quarries at the top of Westington Hill. A Thomas Woodward appears as early as 1697 in the Churchwardens’ Accounts
