The Cotswolds

Coberley

Coberley, on the A435 Cheltenham to Cirencester road, is a picturesque and peaceful village which is located at the head of the Churn Valley. The village church, which can be accessed by going through an arched doorway and private garden of a farm, has many unique and rare memorials, including the 'heart burial' of Sir Giles de Berkeley, which is the only memorial of this kind to be found in the Cotswolds. Strangely, Sir Giles's horse, Lombard, is buried in the churchyard also.
