They had become thin by the end of the Crimean War and were felled for a bonfire.

  • The most identifiable landmark in the village of Painswick is the parish church of St. Mary's dating to the early Norman period. The churchyard's clipped yew trees are another feature of the town...Evidence suggests that the church was built between 1042 and 1066. Looking closely at the tower, you'll see the scars of cannonballs left by a bombardment during the Civil War. Parliamentary troops took refuge in the church, but they were forced out by a combination of cannon fire and burning torches wielded by Royalist soldiers...Passing through the half-timbered lych-gate -- a roofed entry to the churchyard -- is the graveyard, the final resting place of rich wool merchants and the yew trees that draw the most attention. The church is also open for tour...There are two legends surrounding the yews. One legend says that the trees are uncountable, the other, that there are 99 trees, and if a hundredth was to be planted, the devil would pull it out...Every year, on the nearest Sunday to September 19, the "clipping the church" takes place. Local children wear flowers in their hair, join hands and embrace the church.

  • Dr Edward Wilson contemplates a  Horse chestnut tree, Cheltenham  in the Long Garden in front of the Municipal Offices. ..In 1910 he joined the famous Captain Scott on his National Antarctic Expedition to the South Pole, but tragically both men died in March 1912 on the return journey...News of Wilsons death reached Cheltenham in February 1913 and a fund was set up to create a memorial to the explorer. The original plan was for two plaques to be hung in the Town Hall but Wilsons widow suggested that as Edward loved the outdoors a more suitable memorial should be erected. The bronze statue shown was modelled by Scotts widow and was unveiled on 9th July 1914 by Arctic explorer Sir Clarence Markham. A display of Wilsons Arctic clothing and kit, as well as some of his artwork, can be found at the Cheltenham Art Gallery and Museum...The inscription on the plinth of the statue reads - "He died as he lived, A brave true man. The best of comrades and the staunchest of friends."

  • Belas Knap is a neolithic long barrow, situated on Cleeve Hill, near Cheltenham and Winchcombe, in Gloucestershire, England. It is in the care of English Heritage. "Belas" is possibly derived from the Latin word bellus, 'beautiful', which could describe the hill or its view. "Knap" is derived from the Old English for the top, crest, or summit of a hill...What appears to be the main entrance to the barrow, with intricate dry-stone walling and large limestone jambs and lintels is, in fact, a false one. The actual burial chambers are down the long East and West sides of the barrow and at its Southern foot. There are four burial chambers, two on opposite sides near the middle, one at the South-East angle and one at the South end. These are formed of upright stone slabs, linked by dry-stone walling and originally had corbelled roofs...This northern end measures about 26 metres wide and the barrow then tapers towards the south where it measures 17 metres in width and less than a metre in height. The whole of this trapezoid mound is around 70 metres in length.
