Excerpt from Cotteswold Manor: Being the History of Painswick

Here, too, amid shaggy forests and rocky ridges have once wandered wolf and boar and red-deer (as today do the badger and the fox), and have prowled at night round rude homesteads where now ¿ourish strong fields of grain, girt round with thorn hedges, or with dry walls of local stone, interrupted here and there with falling woods that summer will presently favour with ¿owers and abounding song-birds.
