Czar a bronze car created by Diane Gorvin. Diane suggested sculpting the cat back at the very first Alleycat meeting, but it took until 2018 to actually commission it. One of the difficulties was finding a suitable location: we looked at several alleys but settled on the river back at Back of Avon.. Tewkesbury’s alleys are special because of the particular development of the town centre which was followed by a level of industrial decay which precluded development until the 1960s, when many were swept away. Burgesses were the free men introduced to Tewkesbury by Queen Maud, soon after the Norman Conquest. This was an attempt to generate wealth, and taxes, by giving incentives to merchants to manufacture, store and trade goods. The High Street was created which split the first furlong of the open field which was called Oldbury into two, and burgage plots were created, four strips (a chain in old measure) wide and half a furlong (about 100 yards) deep. To the west they stretched to the river, to the east to what is now the Oldbury Road, where the next furlong of the field remained. Similar plots on Church Street and Barton Street were adapted to fit around existing features. The centre of town, around the Cross, was an open market area, where the agricultural hinterland regularly traded with each other and the merchants in the town.
