The artist Edmund H. New walks the reader through Evesham and its fruit-growing Vale: the great Benedictine abbey and what survives of it, the two parish churches, the old streets and timbered houses, and the field where Simon de Montfort fell in 1265. Local history, drawn from George May’s town history and the monastic chronicles, runs alongside his drawings.
An attractive small guide of 1904 for anyone who knows or plans to visit the Vale of Evesham. Download the free EPUB.
