Tewkesbury Museum and attached Railings, 64, Barton Street, Tewkesbury - Tewkesbury

Pair of mostly C17 timber framed houses, now combined and used as the town museum. The museum received a COVID recovery grant in 2021 for roof repairs but when the protective scaffolding was taken down it emerged that a new leak had formed, in a chimney previously screened from the elements by the scaffolding. There is active water ingress into the upper two floors and the roof space. In addition, the earlier leak has caused damage to an elaborate Jacobean plaster ceiling on the second floor. Historic England is working with the museum trustees and the town council to find a solution.
