There's a little-known gem in Tewkesbury - the Old Baptist Chapel, hidden away down an alley running from Church Street towards the river. The building, originally a medieval timber-framed hall house, dates from the 15th century, but some time around 1620 it began to be used as a chapel by the Baptists. The Chapel's Interpretation Project has won Heritage Lottery Support and a range of events are planned including, I hope, some which celebrate its musical history. Watch this space!
The Chapel is run by the Abbey Lawn Trust, based at the John Moore Museum and you can read more about it here.
