Tewkesbury Abbey – behind the scenes
Tewkesbury Abbey, Church Street, Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, GL20 5RZ
A unique opportunity to view areas of the Abbey not usually open to the public. Gain access to the Sacristy to see the famous Sacristy door which is covered with horse armour salvaged after the Battle of Tewkesbury in 1471. There is even a hole on the right side above the horizontal strap caused by an arrow.
The specially designed (and award winning) cope chest will be opened to display the beautiful Elizabethan cope sometimes worn by the Vicar of Tewkesbury Abbey.
