* Given its exposed spot on the top of Stow Hill, the town is often referred to as "Stow on the Wold, where the winds blow cold."<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.thecotswoldsguide.com/Stow-on-the-Wold |title=Stow-on-the-Wold  |website=Cotswolds Guide |access-date=21 July 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180822184853/http://thecotswoldsguide.com/Stow-on-the-Wold/ |archive-date=22 August 2018 |url-status=live}}</ref>
{{Blockquote|text=Stow-on-the-Wold, Where the wind blows cold.<br/>
Where horses young and old are sold,<br/>
Where farmers come to spend their gold,<br/>
Where men are fools and women are bold,<br/>
And many a wicked tale is told.<br/>
High on the freezing Cotswold.}}

* Stow-on-the-Wold featured prominently in the eleventh episode of series 6 of ''[[Top Gear (2002 TV series)|Top Gear]]'', when [[Jeremy Clarkson]] reviewed the [[Ford F-Series]] there. He chose it as a venue because it is a typical community in the English countryside, which Clarkson compares to the American countryside in the episode.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.wiltsglosstandard.co.uk/news/11216587.top-gear-trio-jeremy-clarkson-richard-hammond-and-james-may-drive-into-stow-on-the-wold-to-film-new-series/ |title=Top Gear trio Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May drive into Stow-on-the-Wold to film new series |last1=Archer |first1=Megan |date=15 May 2014 |work=Wilts and Gloucestershire Standard |access-date=21 July 2020}}</ref>
