Arlington Row is a curve of honey-coloured cottages in Bibury, in the Cotswolds, begun in 1380 as a monastic wool store. Only in the 1600s was it converted into weavers' cottages, with dwellings added at each end. Cloth made here went to Arlington Mill for processing, then dried on Rack Isle, giving English the phrase "on tenterhooks."

In the 1920s, Henry Ford tried to buy the row outright, planning to dismantle it stone by stone and rebuild it in Michigan. Locals foiled him, and the National Trust has owned the cottages since 1949. One, number nine, can be rented as a holiday cottage. The row has since appeared in "Bridget Jones's Diary" and "Stardust."

VoiceMap's self-guided audio tours of Bibury use Arlington Row as a hinge between centuries, tracing the wool trade that built it and the thread linking Bibury's Custis family to George Washington and Arlington Cemetery.
