Tetbury, The Chipping Steps by Kirstin White.
Painted en plein air in watercolour on 23rd March 2026.
Image area 56 cm x 41 cm. Unframed.
Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolour paints, on Canson Heritage watercolour paper.
£315.00 including postage within England, Scotland and Wales.
As the Cotswolds is a rural area of England, much of the town used to make its trade through weaving wool and farming work.
‘The Chipping’ is an old English term for market and this whole area used to hold regular ‘Hiring and Mop Fairs’.
Mop Fairs would see many farmers and labourers arrive in The Chipping where they would offer their services for hire on a fixed-term basis.
Originally, these Chipping Steps were placed on Chipping Hill which is similar to Gumstool Hill just a few streets away.
