We are one of the two Anglican parish churches within Tewkesbury. We hope that we provide a warm welcome. Many people find the Abbey a comfortable place to visit precisely because its size provides a degree of anonymity and there is a strong sense of the prayer that has been offered over the centuries. Our tradition varies between central and high Anglo-catholic depending on the service. Many people also come to the abbey as a place to pray and candles are available to be lit any time as a sign of our prayers.
As well as traditional parish activities we have a significant focus on welcoming visitors to the Abbey, of which there are around 200,000 a year. We hope to see you sometime, whether as a visitor or a more regular member of our church.
