Evesham Abbey



The Bell Tower of Evesham Abbey added to the Abbey in the 16th century. This image was taken by myself on 17/09/2017.

Simon de Montfort (1208–1265) who has found his way on to my family tree is buried near the high altar of the ruined abbey, the spot marked by an altar-like memorial monument dedicated by the Archbishop of Canterbury in 1965.

My thanks to Wikipedia for this information.
