About Evesham - show infohide info
Evesham is a middle-sized, rural market town in Worcestershire, England. It is roughly equidistant between Worcester, Cheltenham and Stratford-upon-Avon and was originally built within a loop of the River Avon, which flows through the Vale of Evesham. Due to its development as a mainly agricultural centre, and being overshadowed by these towns, Evesham has little of interest for tourists, although it is handy for visiting the Cotswolds. The four-mile A46 £7m single-carriageway bypass opened in July 1987 as the A435. Evesham was the focus of a major battle—the Battle of Evesham, in which Simon de Montfort was defeated and killed on 4 August 1265. It was also home to one of Europe's largest abbeys, of which only the Bell Tower remains. Evesham Abbey was founded by Ecgwin, Bishop of Worcester, following the vision of the Virgin Mary by a local swineherd or shepherd named Eof, which vision also appeared to Ecgwin. The name of Evesham is derived from "Eof's ham". Evesham Abbey funded smaller abbeys and churches in Belgium, Holland and France. A large source of income came from pilgrims to the tomb of de Montfort. Nearby towns include Stratford-upon-Avon, Worcester, Cheltenham, Teweksbury and Great Malvern.
