Giant (wooden) horseback knights in full medieval armour greet visitors and locals alike to the town, and War of the Roses Battlefield. Situated on a traffic roundabout just south of the Abbey., these 16ft figures are unmissable, and invoke a mixture of history and a strange symbolic art , now time has softened the wood.

I very much wanted to see the battlefield for Richard the Third's great Victory (as Duke of Gloucester ) over the Lancastrians in the Battle of Tewkesbury. I walked Bloody Meadow for about a half hour meditating.
The meadow is now simply a large field with dandelions in yellow and white, . . . dandelions, gold soldiers grieving on the green ground, white souls wafting from the battleground into the air.

The battlefield should have been the last and deciding battle of the Wars of the Roses, the battle which decisively witness the success of Edward IV of York over Henry VI of Lancaster.
This place does it justice and offers an insight into what occured here, which can only be described as a bloody past.

The ‘sculptures’ which certainly appear to be constructed from wood made an imposing and strangely appealing landmark on your way in to town.

Heard about these sculptures from Trip Advisor, and wanted to have a closer look. They are located on a roundabout on the Tewkesbury to Gloucester Road. Well worth a visit. They were larger than expected 😃

Noting really much to see on this one as its stuck on a roundabout and there is no carpark. I personally wouldn't go again but that's me.

These two sculptures are impressive in both scale and construction. The concept its execution and location on the edge of the battlefield are all excellent. I am torn on the actual siting on a traffic island , while it ensures a high level of 'exposure' as you are entering or leaving Tewkesbury on the A38 it's positioning does not allow you time to stand and ponder these sculptures as there is no parking near bye
but that's a small negative.

Leaving Tewksbury saw these at roundabout would have liked more time to take in but could see very cleverly built.

I find these "sculptures" quite hideous. They are neither figurative nor abstract but a middle of the road compromise. They were obviously produced on a minimal budget and the one good thing about them is that as wooden objects they won't last very long. I understand that thanks to a press campaign they are supposed to be popular but I'm sure the residents of Tewkesbury have more sense than that.
