Tewkesbury Town Museum
Once the home of a prominent local resident in the 17th century, the Town Museum has a diverse collection capturing the story of Tewkesbury's past.
Read moreNestled in a row of magnificent 15th century timber-framed buildings close to Tewkesbury Abbey, is the John Moore Museum. Established in 1980, the collection was created in memory of the writer and naturalist, John Moore.
Today it is home to an extensive natural history collection featuring specimens of the mammals and birds native to Gloucestershire’s countryside, woodlands, wetlands and farmland.
Throughout the year, the museum runs a varied events calendar including live animal events, living history days and talks.
A few doors away is The Merchant's House, a two storey building which has been beautifully restored and furnished as a Tudor shop and home.
The museum is also your first point of call to visit the Old Baptist Chapel, originally a late Medieval Hall house which was later converted for use as a non-conformist meeting house.
