The Tewkesbury Historical Society
Welcome to our local History Society website
THS was formed in 1991 with the aim of researching and adding to our knowledge of the town of Tewkesbury. The Society meets monthly, usually on the third Thursday, at 7.45 pm in the Methodist Church at The Cross. At these meetings, which are open to non-members, invited speakers talk on some aspect of history. In addition, THS publishes books and an annual Bulletin of Research, to which contributions are invited. The Society also gives members the option of accessing online the Society's extensive Woodard Database of Local History data.
