Tetbury
Tetbury is a small town and also civil parish within the Cotswold district of Gloucestershire, England. It lies on the site of an ancient hill ft, on which an Anglo-Saxon abbey was founded, most likely by Ine of Wessex, in 681. The population of the parish was 5,250 in the 2001 census, raising to 5,472 at the 2011 census. Throughout the Middle Ages, Tetbury became a vital market for Cotswold wool and yarn. The Tetbury Woolsack Races, established 1972, is a yearly competition where participants should carry a 60-pound (27 kg) sack of woollen up and down a high hill (Gumstool Hill). The Tetbury Woolsack Races occur on the "late May Bank Holiday", the last Monday in May every year. Remarkable buildings in the town consist of the Church House, Market House, built in 1655 and also the late-eighteenth century Gothic rebirth parish church of St Mary the Virgin and St Mary Magdalene as well as much of the remainder of the town centre, dating from the sixteenth as well as seventeenth centuries. The Market House is a great example of a Cotswold pillared market residence and is still in use as a meeting point as well as market. Various other tourist attractions include the Police Bygones Museum. Chavenage House, Highgrove House and Westonbirt Arboretum exist simply outside the community. Tetbury has won five consecutive Gold awards in the Regional "Heart of England in Bloom" competitors in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 as well as was group champion "Best Small Town" in 2008, 2009 and 2010.
