Chipping Campden is a small market town in the Cotswold area of Gloucestershire, England. It is noteworthy for its classy terraced High Street, dating from the 14th century to the 17th century. ("Chipping" is from Old English ceping, "a market, a market-place"; the same aspect is found in other towns such as Chipping Norton, Chipping Sodbury as well as Chipping (currently High) Wycombe. A rich wool trading centre in the center Ages, Chipping Campden appreciated the patronage of affluent wool sellers (see also woollen church), most especially William Greville (d. 1401). Today it is a preferred Cotswold traveler destination with old inns, hotels, specialist stores and dining establishments. The High Street is lined with honey-coloured limestone buildings, developed from the mellow locally quarried oolitic limestone called Cotswold rock, and flaunts a wealth of fine vernacular style. Much of the town centre is a Sanctuary which has actually helped to protect the initial buildings. The community is the end factor of the Cotswold Means, a 102-mile Long-distance walkway. Chipping Campden has hosted its own Olimpick Games since 1612. The complete ward population taken at the 2011 census was 5,888.
