Summary: "Bell's Cathedrals: The Abbey Church of Tewkesbury" by H. J. L. J. Massé is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work focuses on the architectural details, history, and significance of Tewkesbury Abbey, including its foundation, structural features, and notable benefactors. It serves as a comprehensive guide for readers interested in ecclesiastical architecture and the storied past of this important religious site. The opening of the account provides insight into the origins of Tewkesbury Abbey, tracing its foundation back to Saxon times around 715 when it was established by nobles Oddo and Doddo. It discusses the Abbey's evolution through historical tumult, influences of various benefactors, such as Robert Fitz-Hamon, and the Abbey's role in significant events up until the 15th century. The detailed narrative blends tradition and documented history, setting the stage for an exploration of the Abbey's architectural grandeur and the lineage of its patrons, which intertwines with the broader context of English history and its royal connections.
