Tewkesbury Abbey: Explore Robert fitzHamon's Parish Church in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire
After leaving Cardiff Bay we went to Monmouth Castle. There were only a couple of walls, but the military museum next to it had some interesting stuff. Monmouth Castle was built from 1066-1067 by William fitzOsbern; the same man who built Chepstow. It sits on a hill overlooking the River Monnow. It was briefly held by Simon de Montfort, 6th Earl of Leicester, then by Edmund Crouchback, Earl of Lancaster, who rebuilt the timber structure in stone and added the Great Hall. King Edward II was held as prisoner at Monmouth briefly, and King Henry V, son of Henry Bolingbroke and Mary de Bohun, was born there. Oliver Cromwell had the castle slighted in 1646, and the round tower collapsed after an attack on 30 of March. The Great House was built in 1673 on the site, and is now the home of the Royal Monmouthshire Royal Engineers Militia and their museum. Following are links to people associated with Monmouth Castle that we are descended from:
William fitzOsbern
Mary de Bohun
King Edward II
Edmund Crouchback
Since Monmouth turned out to be nothing much, we managed to get to Tewkesbury barely in time to go in. As with most churches, except for Canterbury, it was free. We had planned to stay the night around there and visit the abbey the next morning, but I saw a sign for the abbey before we saw any hotels so we stopped. The sign out front (or was it back?) said we had about an hour before they closed the gate, but we left after that time and they were still open. People were arriving so there must have been something going on.
Officially called the Parish Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Tewkesbury Abbey is deceptively large and beautiful. Other pictures, taken from vantage points we didn't have access to, give a better indication of the size and building style. Even before entering the church we were impressed by the enormous Deodar Cedar and Copper Beech trees.
Building of the abbey began in 1102 by Robert fitzHamon. He was wounded at Falaise in Normandy and died in 1107, but the work was continued by his son-in-law, Robert fitzRoy, Earl of Gloucester. However, there had been centers of Christian worship on the site, or near to it, since the mid-7th century. The church was made of Caen Stone imported from Normandy and floated up the Severn River.
Following the Battle of Tewkesbury on 4 May 1471 some Lancastrians fled into the abbey, but the Yorkists forced their way in and slaughtered them. The church was closed for a month so it could be cleaned and re-consecrated. It was surrendered to the Crown at the Dissolution of the Monasteries on 9 January 1539. The townspeople claimed it was their parish church and bought it from the Crown for the value of its bells and lead roof, totaling £453. The bell tower was used as the jail, or gaol, until it was demolished in the late 18th century. The original central tower, the largest Romanesque tower in England, was topped with a wooden spire, but that collapsed in 1559 and was never rebuilt.
Of interest are the church's organs, three of them, one dating to the 17th century though it has been rebuilt several times. Also there are many well known and important people buried there. Below are links to our pages for some of them.

THE MOST CROOKED CHURCH IN BRITAIN - ST MARTIN'S CWMYOY
Come join me...CollidingPlanets as I take a look round this beautiful Gothic church from the 12th century.
The Church of St Martin, Cwmyoy, Monmouthshire, Wales, was begun in the 12th century, although most of the current structure dates from the 13th century. The church is most notable for its extreme tilt, caused as a result of a landslide. This has led to many attempts to strengthen the church and prevent its collapse, through the use of massive tie beams and buttresses. The church is in the Gothic style and has a chancel, nave, south porch, and western tower. A round-headed north window dates to the 12th century, and the nave roof has been dated to the late 13th or early 14th century. St Martin's is a Grade I listed building and an active parish church. It is dedicated to St Martin.

Lost Village of Widford: Just the Church Left
St. Oswald's parish church. Built in the 13th century wall paintings were address in the 14th century. A roman mosaic once part of the chancel has removed to Cirencester Museum. A must visit for Church fans! The church of Swinbrook is very close by with the graves of three of the Famous & Infamous Mitford Sisters. This is one of our favorite walks encompassing Widford, Swinbrook, the Windrush we usually finish with a drink in the Swan Swinbrook former home of the Mitfords and full of photographs.
It is possible to see the trace of the old abandoned village of Widford just outside the church walls which consist of earth mounds where buildings once stood. The church is still consecrated.
