Naunton is a village in Gloucestershire, England. It is situated in the Cotswolds, an area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB); approximately 6 miles west of Stow-on-the-Wold and 12 miles east of Cheltenham. It stands on the river Windrush.
The population of Naunton in 2000 was 371, reducing to 352 at the 2011 census. There has probably been a settlement here for at least 2000 years. Formerly an agrarian based community with the customary supportive trades the turn of the second millennium witnessed a state of advanced transition into a dormitory type village devoid of shops since 1999 and with spiraling property prices that most local people can no longer afford whilst still enjoying a fairly vibrant community spirit.
The church, which is dedicated to St Andrew, is largely 15th century but replaces an older Saxon church on the same site. It is known for two 18th century sun dials one of which is above a Latin inscription Lux Umbra Dei meaning "light is the shadow of God".
The 1998 Grand National winner, Earth Summit was prepared for the race in the village.
Roses R Red
Just to know that I will see you today
Makes me wake up early just to see your face
Makes that bus ride to school seem A-okay
Girl, i've never felt this way
I've never been in love to know just how it feels
And everytime I see you girl my heart beats are real
So if roses are real and violets are blue
Gilr what i'm trying to say
I think that i'm in love with you
Roses are red
Violets are blue girl
I'm not sure but I think i'm in love with you
With you that's right that's right
I'm not really sure but I think i'm in love with you
It's kind of strange to me
Now I know what to say
But till see your face
And then my mind just goes blank
the butterflies then come
And then my knees get weak
Girl I can hardly speak
As crazy as it seems
I don't want school to end
So that I can stare at you and try to pretend
So if roses are red and violets are blue
Girl what I am tryin to say
I think that i'm in love with you
Roses are red
Violets are blue girl
I'm not sure but I think i'm in love with you
With you that's right that's right
I'm not really sure but I think i'm in love with you
And everytime I see you girl my heartbeats are real
So if roses are red and violets are blue
Girl what I am trying to say
I think that i'm in love with you
Roses are red
Violets are blue girl
I'm not sure but I think i'm in love with you
With you that's right that's right
I'm not really sure but I think i'm in love with you
