More about this scene

Pershore's Fair began in the reign of Henry III to provide funds for the restoration of the presbytery. It was held in the churchyard until the mid 1800s. Merchants would come from right across the Vale of Evesham and the Cotswolds to sell their wares. Local villagers still make their way to Pershore for their shopping at least once a week.
