Battle of Tewkesbury Site Campaigners Given More Time
22nd January 2014
Campaigners wanting to protect the site of a 15th Century Wars of the Roses battlefield have been given more time to buy it.
The land where the Battle of Tewkesbury was fought was due to be sold in an auction, with a deadline of 3 February.
Tewkesbury Borough Council has listed the site as an asset of community value, meaning it cannot be sold for six months.
The land has been put up for sale by Tewkesbury School’s trust fund.
