The John Moore Museum collection is a fantastic bite sized portion of British history, nestled in a row of historic timber-framed buildings in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire.
The museum was established in 1980 in memory of the writer and naturalist, John Moore. Today it is also home to The Merchant's House, The Old Baptist Chapel and an extensive Natural History collection featuring specimens of the mammals and birds native to our woodlands, wetlands, gardens and farms!
Old Baptist Chapel
Turning off Church Street into a narrow medieval alleyway, one does not expect to find the Old Baptist Chapel. This enigmatic building, standing in the shadow of the Abbey, conceals a rich history of domestic and religious use!
- The Old Baptist Chapel is a 500 year old building with a fascinating history of domestic use, Nonconformity, decline and restoration.
- It is arguably the oldest Baptist chapel still standing in existence with its use as a place of worship allegedly dating to 1623, a mere decade or so after Thomas Helwys brought the Baptist religion to England!
