Guidebook for Painswick
Sightseeing
Cotswold District
Cotswold Walkway
In the churchyard Painswick has a unique collection of chest tombs and monuments from the early 17th century onwards, carved in local stone by local craftsmen. With its tombs and yews, it has been described as ‘the grandest churchyard in England’, a remark followed with the less than generous observation ‘far grander than the church itself’. It is said that no more than ninety-nine yew trees can grow in Painswick churchyard, and that the hundredth will always be pulled out by the devil. A recent count revealed one hundred and three yews, so it seems that devil has given up.
