Places to stay in Edgcott
"Edgecott is a small village with thatched cottages sprinkled among damp meadows round a little hill, on the summit of which stands the church, with a fine view over a sea of grass, and with Brill Hill standing up to the W." The village name is derived from the Old English for "oak cottage". In the Domesday Book of 1086 it is recorded as Achecote, "æcen" (from which the word "acorn" is derived) being the Old English word for oak. The manor of Edgcott was once owned by the physician and poet Sir Samuel Garth.
