More about this scene

Tewkesbury's cross stands at the meeting point of the town's three main roads – the High Street, Church Street and Barton Street. The present structure was erected in 1920 as a war memorial, but a previous cross was built on the site in about 1500 to commemorate the Battle of Tewkesbury. In 1650 the original cross was unceremoniously taken down and its stones used to repair the Long Bridge.
