The Close Hotel
Tetbury > Places > Buildings > Inns
In comparison to the other inns and hotels in the town The Close is a very new member of the group, yet it s probably one of the oldest houses in the town dating from before 1594. For many years the home of the Paul, Balfour and Morrison-Bell families. More research will be done on this as a residential home later.
