Local Attractions
Built of mellow Cotswold stone from the local quarry on Painswick Beacon the town's many beautiful buildings can be seen as you wander around its quaint and narrow streets. New Street, constructed around 1428 when the wool and cloth trade was flourishing, contains the oldest building in England to hold a Post Office, Painswick's only example of exposed timber framing. Beacon House with its magnificent Georgian Frontage and the Falcon Hotel with the oldest bowling green in England. There are rare 17th century spectacle stocks near the court house. C14th houses in Bisley Street include two original Donkey doors, wide enough for panniered donkeys who carried the wool from the numerous mills along the local streams. The church of St Mary (originally Norman) was extended around 1480 in the English perpendicular style. The churchyard with 99 yew trees (legend has it that the 100th won't grow) and unusual tabletop tombs is also famous for its 'Clypping ceremony' This ancient religious ceremony has nothing to do with the trees but is the embracing of the church by children of the parish carrying nosegays and singing hymns. A closer look at the church tower still reveals traces of Painswick's role in the Civil War. Today there is a variety of small shops and galleries to browse around with pubs, restaurants and tea shops that serve good food.In early July Painswick takes a step back in time with its annual Victorian Market Day. The streets are decorated and filled with stalls and the residents of Painswick turn out in period costume. The Gloucestershire Guild of Craftsmen has its own exhibition every August and shows the variety and excellence of their workmanship. Painswick is undoubtedly a village for all seasons what ever the weather; its tranquillity and peace make for a wonderful holiday or weekend break, whether you are looking for a cosy log fire set in an original hearth in the winter or a delicious cream tea in the summer.
