Extract from the Tewkesbury Travel Guides:
The small market town of
TEWKESBURY
, ten miles north of Gloucester, stands hemmed in by the Avon and Severn rivers, which converge nearby. Pressure of space accounts for the narrow alleys and courts leading off from the main streets, of which thirty of the original ninety still survive. Almost completely bypassed by the Industrial Revolution, Tewkesbury preserves numerous elegant Georgian houses and medieval timber-framed buildings on its main streets - especially Church Street - and the Norman
abbey
has survived as one of the greatest in England.
