Evesham in 50 Buildings - Stan Brotherton

The market town of Evesham grew up around its abbey, one of the largest in England. Although much of the abbey was destroyed during the Reformation, what remains is still a remarkable reminder of its past glories. The town’s prosperity also came from being a centre of market gardening although that has declined in recent years. Evesham’s history has left it with a wealth of fascinating buildings, from those associated with the abbey and through its town hall, churches, chapels, pubs and public halls to more modern times with its railway station, fire station, retirement homes and supermarkets.

Evesham in 50 Buildings explores the history of this town in Worcestershire through a selection of its most interesting buildings and structures, showing the changes that have taken place over the years. The book will appeal to all those who live in Evesham or who have an interest in the area.
