32 members enjoyed an afternoon at Tewkesbury Abbey, the second of our summer visits. We had an hour and a half’s excellent tour with many interesting and amusing stories associated with the history of the Abbey. This was followed by a cup of tea and biscuits in the Touching Souls tearoom.
The tower completed by 1150 is considered by Pevsner to be the finest romanesque tower in the country
