Visit to Tewkesbury Abbey

Our Majors children visited Tewkesbury Abbey this week. Mrs Walker gave them her personal guided tour of the Abbey - she was a mine of information! We started with the outside of the Abbey, feeling the stones, listening to the bells and seeing the little doors used by the monks.



 


Then we went inside and looked at the stained glass windows, the beautiful ceiling, the stone pillars and the dungeons.


 



We were hoping that a man would be able to play the organ for us, but unfortunately he wasn't able to make it. However, we were lucky that a lovely lady from the Abbey coffee shop offered to play the piano instead. The children sang beautifully to "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star", and listened to the sound of their voices echoing around the Abbey.

The children behaved wonderfully, listened really well and thoroughly enjoyed the visit.
