Enjoy an introductory talk on timber-framed buildings from Curator, Simon Lawton, looking at how they were built, who built them and for what purpose. Learn about A frames, wattle and daub and find out about what role these buildings played in Tudor Tewkesbury. This fascinating talk will include a tour of both the interior and exterior of the buildings.
Advance booking advisable; Adult £3.00, Concessions £2.50.
