Nearby places include Lower Slaughter, Bourton-on-the-Water and Daylesford. The village is built on both banks of the River Eye. The Anglican parish church is dedicated to St. Peter.[2][3] Upper Slaughter was one of the Thankful Villages,[4] amongst the small number in England which lost no men in World War I.[5] The village also lost no men in World War II, an honour known as a Doubly Thankful Village.[5][6] The parliamentary constituency is represented by Geoffrey Clifton-Brown MP. HistoryThe name of the village derives form the Old English term "slough" meaning "wet land".[7] The manor of Upper Slaughter is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086; the Slaughter family acquired it in the late 12th century. The current building, on the site of an ancient building, was constructed over many years, starting in the Tudor era. Its crypt is estimated to be from the 14th century.[8] The largest business in the village is the Lords of the Manor Hotel. The building dates from 1649 and has been a hotel since 1960s, furnished with portraits and antiques belonging to the former owner.[9] Other hotels serving the two Slaughter villages include The Slaughters Country Inn and Lower Slaughter Manor. In 1906, the cottages around the square were reconstructed by architect Sir Edward Lutyens. ArchitecturePlaces of architectural interest include:
