Description
The Market House in the centre of Tetbury is an immediate reminder of the history of the town. Built in 1655 and supported on three rows of bulging stone pillars, it was designed for the sale of wool and yarn, and still has a market use today. These days the small marketplace is still the focal point of Tetbury, which is today more well known for its antique shops. A walk down the old Chipping Steps and round into Gumstool Hill will reveal another part of Tetbury's history, with 17th century weaver’s cottages.
