Tetbury, Gloucestershire, England



 


Notes: The recorded history of Tetbury begins in AD681, when King Ethelred of Mercia issued a charter granting land near "Tette's Minster" to the Abbot and Monks of Malmesbury. Yet there is evidence that Tetbury was in existence as early as the Iron Age when there was a hill fort here.

One of the oldest streets in Tetbury was Harper Street, home to many of the Cleaver families and a few Mitchells. Harper Street became West Street between 1917 and 1930 although the exact reason for this is unclear. Many of the residents of Harper Street were employed in the Wool and Cloth trades which had been the making of Tetbury as a prosperous Cotswold town.

The trading of wool rather then the manufacture of cloth was the original source of the towns wealth and it was the decline in the local cloth making that began the inevitable loss of the trade in the town during the 1800's and eventually became less prosperous having been unable to attract much industry from the revolution that began to sweep the rest of the country.

Nevertheless the town has remained much the same as a century or more ago although having grown in size it still retains much of its heritage. The area is once again prosperous although industry still shuns the town and major high street stores are missing, Tetbury is still a wealthy place with many antique shops replacing older businesses and several of the small general shops display the Prince of Wales Feathers for services to HRH Prince Charles who lives just outside the town at nearby Doughton.

The spire of the parish church of St Mary the Virgin dominates the skyline and, as the fourth highest in the country, it can be seen on almost all approaches to the town.

I acquired this postally used postcard at auction. It is a view of Tetbury, Gloucestershire. Taken from the Cottage Hospital area, it is a view of Fox Hill (the main road into Tetbury from Malmesbury). On the left can be seen the spire of St Mary's Church. The postcard is date stamped 1907.

This collage of four photographs, shows West Street (previously Harper Street) as it is today (2006).

Top Left: A view of West Street looking west. On the right hand side of the street (opposite the parked cars), many of the old cottages have been demolished to make room for a car park. The cottages that now stand just beyond the car park (on the right) were built in the early 1990's on the site of the Prince of Wales Inn, known locally as the "Drum and Monkey".

Top Right: Still looking west, this view, further along West Street is of some of the original cottages of "Harper Street".

Bottom Left: This photograph is looking east towards the town centre. On the left, are the relatively new cottages that replaced the Prince of Wales Inn, with the new car park beyond that. In the centre, the spire of the parish church of St Mary the Virgin can clearly be seen.

Bottom Right: From it's junction with "Harper Street" this view, looking west is of Cotton's Lane.
