More about this scene
Three children play against the superb backdrop of some of the best ecclesiastical architecture in Worcestershire. Evesham's two churches share the same churchyard. Abbot Lichfield, who built the Bell Tower, did not enjoy his creation for very long. Evesham Abbey was dissolved by Henry VIII in 1539 - the same year that the tower was completed.

I remember shoe inspections, and length of skirt and "divided skirts (shorts) had to be a certain number of inches above the knee but not many (perish the thought!) This was Prince Henry's Grammar School. The younger girls had to do gym in their navy blue knickers and we had to dash across to it hoping the boys would not see us! The showers were not really hot and other kids would stare at you, so sometimes I forgot my towel! ...see more
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.
