Tewkesbury Abbey
We visited this impressive Abbey, which dates from the early 12th century, on our trip to the Cotswolds in early August.
We've visited Tewkesbury with our grandson for the re-enactment of the 1471 Battle of Tewkesbury - one of the battles of the the War of the Roses. The Abbey could be seen in the distance and it played it's part in the history of that battle, though we didn't have time to visit it then.

Another view of the Abbey is in the comment below. The tree you can partially see on the right, with a red and white tape round it ,was a Mulberry Tree. The tree was brimming with ripe fruit and the tape was there to stop the dropping fruit being trodden into the Abbey. I offered some berries by some people collecting them (whose fingers were turning dark red from the juice) - the berries were delicious!
