Chipping Campden is a market town in Cotswold district, in northern Gloucestershire, England.
The name Chipping means "market place" in Old English. The town prospered in the Middle Ages through the wool trade, as reflected in the many fine houses along its High Street. In the early 20th century, it became a center for the Arts and Crafts Movement, after Charles Robert Ashbee moved there from the East End of London.

About this website
Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
