Museum in a row of timber-framed buildings featuring exhibits on John Moore & natural history.
An absolute gem of a countryside museum- if you are in Tewkesbury don't miss this. Definitely get the three-site ticket as the Baptist Chapel and Merchants House gave fascinating historical insights. Staffed by knowledgeable and friendly volunteers- a delightful gentle afternoon.
Small museum dealing with local nature and the work of John Moore. Worth half an hour for a diversion if you are in the area.
An imbracing site of old world heritage, splendid materials for making a video and spectating a live tour.
Great exhibitions in authentic medieval buildings.
Very odd Musium. Cost us PS3.50 each adult. (Cash only place) Tho double it if you want to do everything. The small old house is cool. The wildlife part is a little lacking and small, but interesting if you want to touch a fox or hedgehog. We spent about a hour here.
Entered round the back of the building, this beautiful 15th century building is visited in two parts. The first building is dedicated to John Moore and his books. The town of Elmbury in his famous book is a thinly veiled reference to Tewkesbury. The museum is situated on three levels and has many exhibits of stuffed animals and old tools. The second building, a few doors along, is a look at the life of a merchant who would have lived and worked in one of these houses. The house in question has been stripped back to what it would have looked like in the 15th century. Fascinating look at how the well off lived six centuries ago.
