Multi-purpose monument
This solid block has information plaques on all four faces. One lists the numerous charters granted to Tewkesbury since the Earls of Gloucester first in the twelfth century; one notes that Henry VIII's Dissolution of the abbey was prevented after the Burgesses of Tewkesbury bought it for £483; one marks the fact that these fields are known as the Vineyards, part of the battle of 1471; the last plaque stands as a memorial to the old Holme Castle, which used to exist in this area.
Holme Castle was originally a Saxon residence of some stature and home to the local barony. It was destroyed by a fire in 1140 and rebuilt. However, that abode of the Earl of Gloucester and other lords was also lost by as early as the fourteenth century.

Plaque on Holme Castle monument
This plaque on the Holme Castle monument Image has an error. The sum paid to purchase Tewkesbury Abbey and save it from destruction was £453, not £483 as this inscription reads. The sum equated to the value of the lead and the bells.
