Tewkesbury - Abbey 
|
|
The pride of Tewkesbury is Tewkesbury Abbey, one of the finest Norman buildings in the country. Building began in 1092, on the site of an earlier Benedictine house and was completed in 1121. The church is of very similar size and plan to Westminster Abbey. Some of the stone used was imported from France. Particularly impressive features are the massive Norman tower (which can be climbed) and the west front with its recessed arches.
