Legacies of Slavery in Tewkesbury

We’re proud to showcase Legacies of Slavery in Tewkesbury here on our website, an exhibition originally displayed at Tewkesbury Museum in June 2025. Though the exhibition has now concluded, the powerful work of Ella and Morgan, second-year students from the University of Gloucestershire, is featured on this page for all to read.

Their thought-provoking research and fresh perspectives explore the often-overlooked links between Tewkesbury and the legacies of transatlantic slavery. We invite you to take some time to engage with their work, reflect on our town’s connections to this history, and consider how the past continues to shape the present.
