Tewkesbury Photos

The Bell Hotel
The Bell Hotel, just outside the Abbey grounds. The Bell is just one of the many surviving medieval buildings in Tewkesbury.
Half timbered building
This half timbered shop building sports a lion and unicorn crest.
Another half timbered building
Who says half timbered buildings are "black and whites"? This one is more of an "orange and white".
The Hat Shop
This carving over the door of "The Hat Shop" on Church Street is labelled 1664.
Royal Hop pOle
The Royal Hop Pole, mentioned in The Pickwick Papers, by Charles Dickens.
Old Baptist Chapel
The Old Baptist Chapel (fittingly, to be found on Old Baptist Chapel Court!). The chapel dates from at least as early as 1655, and is displayed with period furniture. Free entry.
Abbey and medieval speculative buildings
The Abbey overlooking one of the earliest examples of a "speculative buildings project", built by the monks with an eye to rental profits.
