Stow-on-the-Wold Market Square的点评
点评：Stow-on-the-Wold should have a magnificent market square but the effect is somewhat spoiled because it doubles up as a large carpark.
Car-parking aside, there’s a lot to see here.
The square is surrounded by historic buildings like St Edward’s Hall and Porch House, which claims to be the oldest pub in England. This is no idle claim as its timbers have been carbon dated to approximately 1000 AD and it still has witch marks above the 16th century fireplace.
In the square’s centre is a towering 15th century market column and on the tiny village green is an original set of medieval stocks.
If you have a little time on your hands, there is a good range of clothing, antique, homewares, and foodie shops, centred around the square. Most are housed in the old, honey-coloured stone cottages that are so characteristically Cotswold. We couldn’t resist Roly’s Fudge and the Huffkins Tea Rooms & Bakery.
Everything here is steeped in history. We went to Huffkins for tea and toasted buns but then we discovered that it’s the oldest building in the square, built around 1450.
The most famous Stow attraction is located just behind the square - the Tolkien-like doorway St Edwards Church.
While you walk around the market square, keep an eye out for blue plaques. They are fixed on the walls of significant buildings and give a brief history of each one.
NOTE:
Whilst it’s convenient to park in the square, be aware that it can be difficult to find a spot in the middle of the day in summer and parking is limited to 2 hours. If like us, you are spending longer here, the nearby Tesco carpark has all day, free parking, although it is a short walk back to the square.

翻译：斯托昂泽沃尔德本应拥有一个宏伟的集市广场，但由于广场兼作大型停车场，其效果略有逊色。
撇开停车场不谈，这里还有很多值得一看的地方。
广场周围环绕着许多历史建筑，例如圣爱德华大厅和门廊屋，后者号称是英格兰最古老的酒吧。这并非空穴来风，因为经碳年代测定，其木材年代可追溯至公元1000年左右，而且16世纪壁炉上方至今仍保留着巫婆的痕迹。
广场中心矗立着一座15世纪的集市柱，小小的村庄绿地上则保留着一组原始的中世纪木桩。
如果您有空，广场周围有琳琅满目的服装、古董、家居用品和美食商店。大多数店铺都坐落在古老的蜂蜜色石屋中，这些小屋是科茨沃尔德的特色。我们无法抗拒Roly’s Fudge和Huffkins Tea Rooms & Bakery的魅力。
这里的一切都浸润在历史的海洋中。我们去哈夫金斯喝茶、吃烤面包，后来发现它是广场上最古老的建筑，建于1450年左右。
斯托最著名的景点就在广场后面——圣爱德华教堂那座托尔金式的门廊。
漫步在集市广场时，请留意那些蓝色的牌匾。它们固定在重要建筑的墙壁上，简要介绍着每座建筑的历史。
注意：
虽然在广场停车很方便，但请注意，夏季中午可能很难找到停车位，而且停车时间限制为2小时。如果您像我们一样在这里停留更长时间，附近的乐购停车场提供全天免费停车，不过步行一小段路就能回到广场。
