Lots of fun this evening with our #ShroveTuesday pancake race with our Schola Cantorum choristers from Dean Close School. Team Decani won the day! And a prayer from Evensong tonight… Almighty God, giver of every good gift, we thank You for the food that sustains us, for the joy of shared meals, and for the simple blessing of pancakes on this day. As we prepare to enter the holy season of Lent, grant us grateful hearts for all we receive and a deepened desire to share our daily bread with those in need. Teach us to seek justice, to act with mercy, and to work for a world where none go hungry. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Tewkesbury Abbey
Religious Institutions
Founded 1087. Consecrated 1121. A living Church welcoming all as Christ and offering glimpses of glory.
About us
We would like to welcome you to enjoy the peace and beauty of our Abbey. Consecrated in 1121, the church of the Benedictine Abbey of Tewkesbury survived the monastic dissolution of 1540 thanks for the generosity of the townspeople, who bought it from King Henry VIII for £453. It remains the spiritual focus of parish life today. The Abbey is of cathedral proportions and is one of the largest parish churches in the country. There has been a church on this site for over 1,200 years and, in fact, we will be celebrating our 900th anniversary in 2021. Exciting plans are already underway to ensure that the Abbey will be fit for purpose for 2021 and for many years to come. We are supported only by the people who worship here and by our many visitors, whose generosity enables us to keep this beautiful building, and the work we do here, alive and growing. Please do come and visit us soon!
