About Evesham Abbey

Evesham Abbey was established by Saint Egwin at Evesham in Worcestershire, England somewhere in the range of 700 and 710 AD following a supposed vision of the Virgin Mary by a swineherd by the name of Eof. As per the religious history, Evesham got through the Norman Conquest bizarrely well, in light of a brisk methodology by Abbot Aethelwig to William the Conqueror. Just a single segment of walling gets by from the real nunnery, despite the fact that pieces of the part house, the chime tower and the portal remain, which were included later: the section house in the 13th century and the ringer tower in the 16th century.

Simon de Montfort is covered close to the high sacrificial stone of the destroyed monastery, the spot set apart by a holy place like commemoration landmark committed by the Archbishop of Canterbury in 1965. The nunnery is of Benedictine starting point, and progressed toward becoming in its prime one of the wealthiest in the nation. Amid the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the monastery was devastated leaving just the chime tower making due into the 21st century. Different structures connected to history of the convent that survive today are the Almonry and Middle Littleton Tythe Barn. Then again, the time of the sanctification gets from the allow of the principal benefit to the Abbey from Pope Constantine "written in the seven hundred and ninth year of our Lord's manifestation."
