Tewkesbury Abbey - sacred destinations (sitios de interés)
Descripción del sitio
This large and magnificent abbey church is now the parish church of Tewkesbury, a small market town just 10 miles north of Gloucester. Built in the early 1100s, the church boasts the largest Norman tower in the world and the largest exterior arch in Britain. Its interior is a breathtaking combination of stout Norman pillars and delicate Decorated Gothic vaulting. The gilded roof bosses and stained glass of the choir are 14th-century originals.
