Situated in the north of Gloucester at the confluence of the River Severn and the River Avon is the Mediaeval market town of Tewkesbury. Having significant importance in the Wars of the Roses which took place on the 4th of May 1471 and after the completion of the beautiful Abbey, Tewkesbury grew in popularity and now nearly eleven thousand people call the town their home. Having been born and raised in Tewkesbury the renowned Author of “Portrait of Elmbury”, John Moor, set his most well-known novel around the town. In 1852, Dinah Craik, the Victorian author paid a visit to Tewkesbury and a few years later based her most well-known story, “John Halifax Gentleman” also on the Town. The children’s television programme, “Rosie and Jim” filmed two of their very popular episodes in the town as did the BBC show, “The Antiques RoadShow”.
