  • Cover photo description:
  • Gold Hill is a steep cobbled street in the town of Shaftesbury in the English county of Dorset. The view looking down from the top of the street has been described as `one of the most romantic sights in England.` At the top of the street is the 14th-century St Peter`s Church, one of the few buildings remaining in Shaftesbury from before the 18th century. Adjacent to the church is the former Priest`s House Sun and Moon Cottage, which is still part of the Gold Hill Museum building but now houses a shop. The ancient cobbled street runs beside buttressed walls of the precinct, which are the grounds surrounding ancient Shaftesbury Abbey, built by King Alfred the Great. The walls are a scheduled monument.[3] Their origins are not known, but are presumed to have been built in the 1360s, when the abbess or other authority was given royal permission to build town defence
