Great Barrington Village

Great Barrington: the Cotswold settlement that's becoming a ghost town.

At Great Barrington in Gloucestershire houses stand empty; slowly decaying back into the earth. Historic thatched cottages in the distinctive Cotswold stone lie abandoned. Why are so few people allowed to move in and is the local lord of the manor being too choosy? As reporter Brenda Holton is told by one person who's tried to buy a property - "Houses need living in."
