Abbey Lawn (Row) Cottages, Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire

The Abbey Lawn (Row) Cottages were built in the late 15th century. They were built for the Abbey as a commercial venture. On the ground floor each had a shop to the front and a heated hall to the rear. These shops were opened to the street by lowering shutters to act as counters. The rear hall gave private access to an upper chamber (bedroom).
