This fascinating photographic collection represents a journey both through time and also along the byways of a truly scenic part of rural England.

Victorian bowls players are shown, along with solemn-faced schoolchildren wearing starched pinafores and Eton collars. The present day images include Painswick's Art Couture Festival, together with views taken from Painswick Beacon and from the church tower.
