Hampton Ferry, Memories
First placed here by the monks of Evesham Abbey in the thirteenth century to enable them to tend the vineyard that they planted on Clarkes Hill, the original use of the cottage was a wine store. Their system of pulling the ferry rope between two stauntions to get across the river is still used to this very day, in spite of mechanical devices being experimented with, nothing is as easy or secure as the monks original method. The Huxley family moved into the Ferry house in 1929 and their descendants still run the Ferry.

Workman family
My grandmother was born in Bishampton 1891, Maggie Elizabeth Workman, daughter to Honeybourn and Emma Spires. Her aunt Sarah Spires donated a large sum of money to the church, there is a plaque to say.
Honeybourn's father was George Workman, he married Margaret Standley. Does anyone have information? I would appreciate any information, photos etc.

Hamgreen
From 1933 to 1939 I lived at Hamgreen Farm, then we moved to Lighthorne, Warwickshire two days before war was declared. In 1948 April the first I sailed for Canada, 60 years ago. If you have a book or info on the Wormington family I would be very interested in purchasing, we are a very old family, we have traced to the 13th century, you could possibly have some info.

Davis Family History
I have been researching the Davis family, who lived on Feckenham Square for many years. My grandfather used to tell us that he remembers going to his grandparent's house when he was a boy in the early 1900s. I have found family members living here as early as 1861, although they certainly lived in the village before then. I live in Australia, and I would dearly love to see these places one day.

Extracts From South Littleton & Worcestershire books
Not far from Evesham, South Littleton is a lovely old village of pretty cottages, a manor house built in 1721, though
attached to an even more ancient building, and a church that originally dated back to Norman times.
An extract from from"Worcestershire Photographic Memories".
These immaculately thatched cottages still exist, although they
are rather run-down nowadays. Today the three villages of South,
Middle and North Littleton all virtually run into each other.
An extract from from"Worcestershire Living Memories".
South Littleton’s splendid tithe barn is a relic of those times when a tenth (tithe) of the harvest had to be given to
the Church, which held considerable power over the medieval community.

This detail from R84041 brings the Palace Theatre into more prominence. Although it still survives, it no longer looks quite the same; a box-shaped extension was added to it in the 1970s, replacing its attractive three-storey brick-built neighbour.
An extract from from"Redditch Living Memories".
Holy Trinity Church was built in 1856, designed by Henry Day in the Early English style. Close by stands Lickey Grange, the former home of Lord Austin (1866-1941), who founded the nearby Longbridge car factory in 1905. The renowned Austin Seven was designed in the billiard room at Lickey Grange by Austin himself and Stanley Edge.
