Heritage Open Day: Join us for a special Heritage Open Day event on Saturday, 20th September at Tewkesbury Town Council! Step inside the historic Council Chamber, home to striking portraits of local politicians, most notably Sir William Codrington, an 18th-century MP for Tewkesbury whose legacy is tied to the transatlantic slave trade. Learn how Tewkesbury’s parliamentary past connects to a wider global narrative, and discover the fascinating lives of the people who shaped the town’s civic identity.
