John Moore Countryside Museum

Small Tewkesbury museum celebrating countryside writer John Moore and the Severn-Avon landscape.

The John Moore Countryside Museum is a small, characterful museum on Church Street, close to Tewkesbury Abbey. It is named for the local countryside writer John Moore and uses old buildings, natural history displays, and domestic objects to tell a grounded story of the Severn and Avon landscape.

It is best approached as a companion to the abbey rather than a headline attraction. The museum gives Tewkesbury a rural and literary angle, useful if you want to understand the town as more than a battlefield stop or a cluster of medieval streets.
