The name of Slaughter has no connection with blood but is derived
from the old English word Slohtre meaning a muddy place, which it
may once have been but not anymore.
These villages are only just over a mile from Bourton-on-the-Water
but are completely different in character, they are very secluded
and quiet, no shops restaurants or attractions. Just Lower
Slaughter Manor built in 1658 for the High Sheriff of
Gloucestershire and now a grand country house hotel and a Victorian
corn mill, with a working water wheel. The mill has been converted
into a gift shop and museum and is owned by one of the countries
premier former jazz singers. Also worth visiting is the pretty
little church of St. Mary, which is usually decorated with
flowers.
