Painswick Church
Painswick Church is a historic church with a soaring spire sitting right in the centre of this picturesque Cotswold town. Uniquely the church grounds are home to 99 manicured yew trees sitting among the historic gravestones. The picture-perfect town of Painswick owes much to sheep. It was one of the most prosperous of the Cotswold wool towns during the medieval period, and it was this prosperity that gave it many of the outstanding variety of period buildings to be seen today. Most of these buildings are built of mellow Cotswold stone from the quarry at Painswick Beacon, which looms above the town. (Painswick, England)
