Tewkesbury was featured on BBC Gloucesteshire this week, as research into the descendants of members of William Shakespeare's family, buried in the graveyard behind the Old Baptist Chapel, has discovered relatives living not far away in the Forest of Dean. Exciting stuff!
Did you know that this county is home to William Shakespeare's relatives? BBC Radio Gloucestershire has tracked down some living relations of The Bard, as some in Tewkesbury think more should be made of the graves of his distant relations in the Old Baptist Chapel. Thanks to Gloucestershire Family History Society and The John Moore Museum for their help in researching the family trees.
