It is a main tourist destination for tourist visiting the traditional rural villages, tea houses and many ornate protected buildings of the Cotswold District, accordingly it is one of six places in the country featured in Mini-Europe, Brussels.
==History==
In the ''Domesday Book'' (1086), a record of survey done under William the Conqueror, the place is named ''Becheberie'', and it is recorded that the lands and church in Bibury were held by St. Mary's Priory at Worcester, from whom it passed in 1130 to the Abbey of Osney, near Oxford: the Abbey continued to hold it until its dissolution in 1540.
The Church of England parish church of St Mary is very late Saxon with later additions and listed in the top of the three heritage/architecture categories, Grade I. Its main material is random (cobblestone) and coursed rubble limestone with a slate roof. It is formed of a nave with north and south aisles, south porch, north west tower and chancel, tower, arched doorways.〔 Bibury Church - Grade I listing〕 There is an early canonical sundial on the south wall. From AD 1130 until the English Reformation during the sixteenth century, it was a peculier of Osney Abbey in Oxford.〔 Adjacent to the church is the village primary school that was built in the 1850s. The school currently has approximately 30 pupils in 2 classes. On the Arlington (west) side of the village is Arlington Baptist Church, where a congregation has been meeting since the 1740s.
Late in the nineteenth century George Witts recounted the discovery of the Bibury Roman villa: "''In the year 1880 a Roman villa was accidentally discovered in the parish of Bibury, about six miles northeast of Cirencester. Some Roman pottery, coins, remnants of tesselated pavements, &c., were found, but as no examination has yet taken place, no description of the building can be given.''"—George Witts, 1883 The site fills a small low meander downstream of the bridge on the Arlington, Bibury side.〔Scheduled Ancient Monument official listing.
