TEWKESBURY, GLOUCESTERSHIRE


Abbey Row Cottages.
Typical village of Gloucestershire. Worth a visit!! These cottages were built in the late 15th century for the Benedictine Monastery as a commercial venture and consisted of shops which were opened to the street by lowering their shutters to act as counters. Today this row houses the National Trust Shop and the John Moore Countryside Museum.
