Tewkesbury Heritage & Tourist Information Centre
Tewkesbury Heritage & Tourist Information Centre
A superbly restored 17th century building - once a hat shop, is home to the innovative heritage centre in the heart of Tewkesbury. A wander through this charming building will take you from Tewkesbury’s earliest settlers, through the Wars of the Roses, the Civil War and the industrial revolution and into the present day. Tewkesbury Tourist Information Centre is on the ground floor.
