Tewkesbury Abbey is well worth the visit, even a detour to get there.
the Despensers & George of Clarence are buried there. Edward, the son
of Henry VI, may be buried in the choir. May.
The church was taken over by the town at the Dissolution. Most of the
monastic buildings are gone.

medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and
culture
Today's Oxford DNB Life of the Day is JS Hamilton's biography of Hugh
Despenser, the younger, first Lord Despenser (d. 1326), administrator
and
royal favourite. Perhaps of most interest to this list will be his
patronage and building works at Tewkesbury Abbey. To read this and
other
lives of the week, follow the links below.
