There are examples of stone, metalwork, pottery and coins from the Neolithic, Medieval and Roman Periods, and exhibits on the 1471 Battle of Tewkesbury, a unique model fairground (with over 100 figures) and on Tewkesbury’s very own Polar explorer, Raymond Priestly, who travelled to the Antarctic with both Ernest Shackleton and Robert Scott.

About the area
Gloucestershire is home to a variety of landscapes, including the Cotswolds, a region of gentle hills, valleys and gem-like villages that roll through the county. To their west is the Severn Plain, watered by Britain’s longest river and characterised by orchards and farms marked out by hedgerows that blaze with mayflower in the spring; beyond the Severn are the Forest of Dean and the Wye Valley.
