*************

Bibury is a village and civil parish in Gloucestershire, England. It is situated on the River Coln, about 6.5 miles (10.5 km) northeast of Cirencester.

The Church of England parish church of Saint Mary is Saxon with alter additions.^[1] From AD 1130 until the English Reformation it was a peculier of Osney Abbey in Oxford.^[1]

The artist and craftsman William Morris called Bibury "the most beautiful village in England" when he visited it.^{[citation needed]} Its honey-coloured 17th century stone cottages with steeply pitched roofs once housed weavers who supplied cloth for fulling at nearby Arlington Mill. The mill now houses a folk and agricultural museum, containing a room dedicated to Morris.

The River Coln flows alongside the main street. Its water supplies the trout farm, where some 10 million rainbow trout are spawned yearly.^{[citation needed]}

Late in the 19th century George Witts recounted the discovery of the Bibury Roman villa:^[2]

In the year 1880 a Roman villa was accidentally discovered in the parish of Bibury, about six miles northeast of Cirencester. Some Roman pottery, coins, remnants of tesselated pavements, &c., were found, but as no examination has yet taken place, no description of the building can be given.
