History of Nailsworth
These days Nailsworth is visited in the summer by walkers. It holds a farmers’ market every fourth Saturday in the month. Local events such as the market and the Nailsworth Festival are announced by the town crier. Over the past decade the small town centre has been reinvigorated. Besides numerous restaurants and cafes, it now contains a number of shops, including bakers, a delicatessen with a fishmonger, one hardware store, butchers, craft shops, bookshops, art galleries and a gardening shop. Nailsworth is a Fairtrade Town and is twinned with the French town of Laves, with which it enjoys an exchange visit in alternate years. Built on the higher ground at the centre of town, St George’s was consecrated in November 1900. Before 1895, the Church of England had provided for Nailsworth through several neighbouring parishes. The new church, which today can seat 500, was designed in the Early English style by M. H. Medland of Gloucester. A lack of funds, however, meant that the church originally consisted only of a nave, aisles and south porch, without any chancel or tower. The large entrance was originally designed as a tower, but the elevated ground was considered too unstable to support the weight, resulting in the unusual porch.
