Product Information

The South West is famous for Great Western train lines that changed the way that people travelled forever in the 19th century. If you head on over to the heart of the town, you’ll find the historic pillared Market House that almost looks like it’s standing on stilts. A Saxon village existed around the upper pond at Branch, Saxon jewellery has been found in the Iron Valley and even a ceremonial Danish axehead. In 942 AD the Saxon King Edmund granted land at Mells to Count Athelstan who in turn gave it to Glastonbury Abbey. It was Glastonbury that built most of the medieval part of the village, including the Tithe Barn, Bilboa House, New Street, Selwood House and part of The Talbot inn. There is always something interesting happening here, so make sure to pop along and see what you can find.

Tetbury was one of those stations that were closed in the 1960s. However, instead of tearing down the old station it sat abandoned in the same spot for years.

So, you’ll find Craft Fairs, Exhibitions and even farmers markets taking place underneath the pillars every week. If driving is not an option, there are buses that you take to access Tetbury from Gloucester and Cirencester. Where to stay in Tetbury
