		Tewkesbury is an attractive, historic town dominated by timber-framed buildings with overhanging eaves and has a fascinating maze of small alleyways behind the main streets.
		Tewkesbury was designated as a Conservation Area in 1967 with over 200 listed buildings, and although several new buildings have been erected in the town centre since 1960, local authorities have considerable powers in the area of preservation, hopefully avoiding further loss of valuable old buildings and damage to the town's streetscape.
		Tewkesbury's glory is its Abbey, founded by Robert Fitz Hamon at the end of the 11th century as a Benedictine monastery.
