Public right of way to the battle
Tewkesbury's Battle Trail extends from the south at Margaret's Camp to the town and Abbey. Here the path crosses part of the main site (it is thought) of the 1471 battle at Lincoln Green.
The public notice refers to the uneasy movements taken over some of this greenery: plans have been proposed to build on it, but local opposition has been roused to prevent it.

Calling for local resistance!
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.

Inevitable expansion of a town. One of the roads is called Battle Road in acknowledgement.

Tewkesbury Cemetery - 2
Looking north-west along the perimeter path. This very large cemetery is managed by the borough council, and is located on higher ground above and well to the south of the town centre. There are many mature trees.

The Battle of Tewkesbury on 4th May 1471 was the decisive battle of the Wars of the Roses when the army of Margaret of Anjou (for Henry VI) was beaten by Lancastrian King Edward IV. The large site is threatened by housing development.
