Tetbury is proud of its 1300
years of recorded history since 681 when Tetta's
Monastery was mentioned in a charter by King
Ethelred of Mercia. In the Middle Ages Tetbury was
an important market town for the Cotswold wool
trade.
The town centre is still
dominated by the splendid, pillared 17th Century
Market House or Town Hall and the Parish Church of
St. Mary The Virgin. Many of the wool merchants'
houses look much as they did 300 years ago.
