Tewkesbury view
We had a wander round Tewkesbury the other day after going there for an errand. Every summer colourful banners are displayed outside shops and homes and I knew they were mediaeval in style but didn’t know the full significance until now. Each banner is a representation of the coat of arms of a knight who fought at the Battle of Tewkesbury in 1471, the final decisive battle of the Wars of the Roses. We found information about several of them outside these houses by the river.
