Clifford Chambers

Clifford Chambers is a village two miles south of Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, on the B4632 and one mile south of the A3400. It consists of some 150 houses and the population of the parish in the 2001 census was 418. Until 2004 the village was in its own parish but it is now part of the parish of Clifford Chambers and Milcote. The village was in Gloucestershire until 1931. The River Stour runs along the north-eastern edge of the village.
==History==
As the bubonic plague was rife in Stratford-upon-Avon at the time of the bard's birth and during times of plague Clifford Chambers rectory was used as a refuge.
It is known that the moated manor house was visited in the 16th century by several well-known poets of the time such as Michael Drayton, Ben Jonson and Shakespeare. This was because the father of the lady of the house was a patron to young poets at the time. The manor was remodelled by Edwin Lutyens in 1918, following a fire and the garden design has been attributed to Lutyens and Gertrude Jekyll.Many of the houses were still owned by the occupants of the manor house right up until after the Second World War.〔http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=66445〕 It was the lady of the manor who 'switched on' the village's electricity supply when it was connected to the national grid in 1933.
During the Second World War children from the Roman Catholic school in Edgbaston, Birmingham lived in the village due to emergency evacuation from the bombed city. Shortly after the war deep-texture furnishing fabric from Clifford Chambers mill was developed by Tibor Reich. This was later used in the rebuilt Coventry Cathedral and on the QE2 ocean liner.XD
