At the centre of a broad vale, rich in market gardens and fruit orchards, and to which it gives its name, lies Evesham. Abbot Lichfield's Bell Tower, built in 1539, dominates the water meadows of the River Avon. Notice the Romany caravans at rest on the far bank.

My maternal grandfather, his siblings and parents lived in Evesham from the late 1890s. My GGrandfather was stationmaster in Evesham His name was John Hall Seal. They lived at 8 Market Square then moved to new houses on Cambria Road. My grandfather was a triplet and they all survived. His triplet brother died in WW1 in France in 1918. I would be interested to know if any family still live in the Evesham area as my Grandfather moved to Birmingham and never returned as far as I am aware

I used to go to school in Cleeve Prior, we lived in one of the cottages over the road from the village school. I was friends with two girls who lived just outside on the road to Evesham. We all went to Blackminster County Modern after. I would like to get in touch with them; Mavis Spires & Sandra Parks. We loved our time there, lovely village life. My dad was in the army so we moved a lot.
