Flower Delivery Stow On The Wold

Flowers Delivered In Stow-on-the-Word

If you were Edward the Martyr, the man after whom Stow-on-the-Wold is most likely named, you might have good reason to feel aggrieved that the name has evolved from 'Edwardstow' (literally meaning Edward's town) to simply 'Stow', with 'Wold' referring to a forested upland area. Edward - king of the English for three years in the 970s AD - has been all but forgotten from the name as it now appears on the modern-day flower delivery Stow-on-the-Wold residents order, although he remains as the patron saint of the town.

There is even the possibility that it is Edward the Confessor, and not Edward the Martyr, who is commemorated in the town's name, and October 13th - Edward the Confessor's saint day - is still an important calendar event in the area, with a fair held around this time, along with one in May. Perhaps with so much confusion, it's for the best that Edward doesn't feature so heavily in the town's name as it appears on the flower delivery Stow-on-the-Wold's present-day inhabitants order.
