Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire at the northern edge of
the Cotswolds is a pure delight to behold and we have no hesitation in highly recommending
it to all tourists visiting the region as a 'MUST' place to visit - an effort that
will be amply rewarded in the memories and images you will forever keep and treasure.
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. It is situated on a spit of land just above flood level at the junction
of two great rivers (the Severn and Avon) .
The town has always been a favoured resting place for travellers on the highway
which winds it's way along the Severn
Vale and has a selection of Hotels, Inns and Pubs, B&Bs and Holiday Cottages
from which to choose your accommodation.

A Brief History
Millbank is believed to date back
to around 1500 and belonged, with the mill, to the monks of the Abbey. During
the 1700's, it was used as a workhouse. More recently, no. 9 was home to "Old
Mrs Gore" and her 9 children. Mrs Gore raised her family without the "luxury" of
running water. Water was supplied from a pump, operated by a lady living
in the pumphouse, situated directly in front of the row of cottages. The
outhouse across the alleyway was originally the communal toilet!
...in the Cotswolds and William Shakespeare country
in the Heart of England.
