The fields south of Tewkesbury are the site of the last battle of the War of the Roses, on 4th May, 1471. Some of that land has been built upon but much still remains untouched by the bulldozers. The Governors of Tewkesbury School have put the land up for sale and are attracting interest from developers. However, the Tewkesbury Battlefield Society are trying to raise a counter bid in order to stop any changes to the existing access. A similar tender for housing in 1996 was eventually rejected by the Government.
