Black-headed Gulls swirl over floodwater which surrounds historic Tewkesbury Abbey in Gloucestershire this afternoon.
The Abbey Church of St Mary the Virgin – best known as Tewkesbury Abbey – in Gloucestershire, is a parish church and a former Benedictine monastery. It is one of the finest examples of Norman architecture in Britain, and has probably the largest Romanesque crossing tower in Europe.
Tewkesbury had been a centre for worship since the 7th century, becoming a priory in the 10th. The present building was started in the early 12th century.
