EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Painswick Camp, an Iron Age hillfort nestled in the picturesque town of Painswick, Gloucestershire. Also known as Kimsbury Hillfort, this ancient site stands proudly on the Cotswolds' scarp, offering breathtaking views over the enchanting Severn valley. Photographer Jim Hancock expertly immortalized this historical gem in June 1969. The image reveals a glimpse into the rich history and architectural significance of Painswick Camp. However, it also exposes a poignant truth - the interior bears deep scars from stone quarrying activities that have taken place over time. This reminder of human intervention serves as a testament to both our fascination with ancient structures and our impact on them. As we gaze upon this aerial perspective captured by Jim Hancock's lens, we are transported back in time to an era when these hillforts were bustling communities filled with life and purpose. The intricate details visible from above hint at the complex nature of Iron Age settlements and their strategic positioning for defense purposes. Historic England has preserved this remarkable photograph print to ensure that future generations can appreciate and learn from our past. It serves as a visual record of not only Painswick Camp but also highlights the importance of safeguarding our cultural heritage for years to come.
