Historically Painswick Rococo Garden is very important, as it is the sole complete survivor from the brief Rococo period (1720 – 1760). These gardens differ from the more traditional 19th and 20th century designs, as they were mini landscapes designed almost as theatrical sets for the home owner to entertain his guests with lavish garden parties. One thing they were not were great flower gardens.At Painswick, romantic follies combine with long vistas, informal plantings, and a large kitchen garden to create a relaxing environment for todays visitor to appreciate how our forefathers lived and to understand how gardens have changed over the centuries.

"The churchyard is stunning with lots of trained yew trees dominating the large area around the church. Well worth a visit as is the village which is very quaint and friendly"
"Been here before and didn't really get it. Now fully refurbished it is a gem. Peaceful. Just don't expect a garden. It is an outdoor room for entertaining a la Louis XIV."
"Beautiful church, but the churchyard is the gem. 99 yew trees with local folk lore stating that everytime they try to plant the 100th it dies! Wooden benches to just sit, relax and take in the sunshine (which is was for us) with many unusual gravestones of different styles."
