I wanted to know a little more about Tewkesbury's history, so I called into The John Moore museum.
Very helpful staff who explained many things to us, and whilst looking round, you certainly took in so much of “years gone by” of this fascinating old market town.
The John Moore Museum is a very interesting group of museums. It is part of a terrace of very old buildings, one of which has been left as it was in Tudor times, another houses a spectacular collection of countryside exhibits and animals, and there is also a very early Baptist Chapel. We were a bit late in the season to appreciate the cottage gardens at their best and the Baptist Chapel was closed to visitors, so visit before the end of September if you want to see everything! Even so, it was a very good couple of hours.
The John Moore museum and the Old Baptist church were very interesting and have been restored sympathetically to represent a different age. Would especially mention the staff who were very knowledgeable and helpful
