Tewkesbury Museum was established c.1964. It was originally run by the Borough, and the archives it collected and later deposited at the Record Office have therefore been treated as part of the Tewkesbury Borough archives. Following the local government re-organisation in 1974, the "new" Tewkesbury Borough Council did not take on responsibility for the museum and in 1978 a group of five trustees took over its management.

Mrs Edna Linnell acted as curator until her death in 1986, her husband Brian Linnellthen taking over until c.1995. The museum now employs the services of a professional curator (based at the John Moore museum) for one day a week
