In St Kenelm’s churchyard at Sapperton lie the plain graves of the Arts and Crafts designers Ernest Gimson and the brothers Ernest and Sidney Barnsley, who ran their furniture workshops in the village in the early 1900s. It sits on a wooded slope above the Golden Valley; The Bell at Sapperton is the village pub. Kemble station is about 6km south-east.
