About
About Tewkesbury
Tewkesbury ( TEWKS-bər-ee) is a market town and civil parish in the north of Gloucestershire, England. The town grew following the construction of Tewkesbury Abbey in the twelfth century and played a significant role in the Wars of the Roses.
Tewkesbury is a market town documented since the 7th century, when it was the Anglo-Saxon settlement of Theocsbury. It was at the confluence of navigable rivers, well irrigated for agriculture, but with just enough of a rise on the land to escape the recurrent floods. It hosted a large prosperous abbey, whose monks put about the fiction that the town's name was from Theotokos, the Greek term for the Virgin Mary. Tewkesbury's strategic value was as a crossing point over the River Severn, which brought the Lancastrian army here in 1471, when the Yorkist army caught up with them.
