Pyramid in Painswick
Did you know our county has one of the highest pyramid counts in the UK? A new book on the subject shows Gloucester is home to ten of the three-dimensional structures.

BBC Radio Gloucestershire's Mark Cummings traces the history of the lawnmower, which was invented in the county.

Family scrapbooks, sketches, and letters linked to Dr Edward Wilson have gone on display.
