Our Mission

The Tewkesbury Battlefield Society is a group of interested people who want to preserve, promote and interpret the history, archaeology and natural history of the sites associated with the battle for the present and future generations.

Aims

• Working with the owners of the many sites associated with the Battle of Tewkesbury, the Society aims to raise public awareness of the events of the battle, and to promote the sites as an integrated educational resource.

• We aim to encourage tourism and leisure activity by advertising, interpretation and presentation in connection with the sites.

• We aim also to collate research into the Battle, and to encourage further research, making the results available to the public through a variety of media.

• We aim to become the Authority on the battle and battle site

In pursuing our objects, we work alongside a variety of organisations, including public bodies and other charities, in Tewkesbury and throughout the world. We develop schemes and advocate projects, including fundraising for them, delivering them where it is within our ability, and project managing if appropriate.

Objectives

• To promote the permanent preservation of the battlefield and other sites associated with the Battle of Tewkesbury, 1471, as sites of historic interest, to the benefit of the public generally.

• To promote the educational possibilities of the battlefield and associated sites, particularly in relation to medieval history.
