A few things to Know about Tewksbury.

The number of Tewkesbury’s buildings listed as being of special architectural or historical interest totals more than 350

In 2021 Tewkesbury celebrated two big anniversaries; 900 years since the consecration of the Abbey and 550 years since the Battle of Tewkesbury. The town will have plenty to celebrate.

Tewkesbury Abbey was bought from Henry VIII by the townsfolk for

£453

30 alleyways exist in Tewkesbury today – there were once 90

On arrival there was a medieval thingy on at the back of the Abbey tried to get in as an under 16 but failed so payed to go have a look at it.
