The Bell Tower

The Bell Tower and War Memorial in Evesham.

The Bell Tower and Twin Churches
The magnificent Bell Tower and the twin churches of All Saints and St Lawrence are the only major buildings remaining of the once great Abbey, after Henry VIII closed the monasteries in 1540. Whe most of the Abbey was destroyed, the townspeople saved the tower. The tower houses a peal of 14 bells and a recently restored carillon.

The memorial commemorates the residents of Evesham who were killed or missing in World War I (256 names) and World War II (78 names).

once again you have shown a place on my doorstep that I have never explored and now know I must; that tower looks like quite something

Hurrah for the townspeople! It's a tower well saved and a very fine memorial too.

That's a great sweeping arc to the memorial and so many churches in a small area.
