The market town of Tewkesbury is most famous for its Abbey and for the floods of summer 2007, in which homes were flooded along with the water treatment works. The floods left the town temporarily without a water supply and with families living for months in caravans while their homes were repaired. Building on flood plains contributed to the disaster and flood defences have since been reviewed and improved.

Tewkesbury was the site of the Wars of the Roses, where the Yorkists met the Lancastrians. The battle is reinacted each year, and inspired local names including the Roses Theatre and the field 'bloody meadow'.

Rebecca Nesbit grew up there
It's fun when your garden floods
The Abbey is beautiful
The High Street has ineresting architecture
There are busses to more exciting places
