Description

TEWKESBURY

SO8932 ABBEY PRECINCTS 859-1/6/350 Boundary wall, south of Church of St Mary

GV II

Length of boundary wall. Undated, incorporates medieval fragments. Coursed limestone and lias. A length of boundary wall, from approx 1.5m to approx 2.5m high, with rough stone-on-edge copings, but in parts overgrown (November 1991); approx 75m total length. It lies parallel to and approx 10m S of the S wall of the Abbey south aisle. The wall returns at the SW corner of the Abbey, where it is stopped to the archway with gate linked to Abbey House (qv), and at its E end it curves away towards the south near the SW corner of the transept. It is stopped to the S boundary fence to the Abbey. The wall probably does not follow a significant historical line, as the former monastic buildings would have occupied this area, but it does have various fragments built in which were part of the medieval fabric, and ought therefore to be retained.
