The Names of Parliamentary Electors begin with an Italic letter in all the following Directories.

Evesham, or as it is generally pronounced Easham, is an ancient, respectable, and delightfully situated parliamentary borough and market town, on the S.E. side of an elevated promontory formed by the Avon; the distance of every town in the county, see the accom- panying Distance Table, and for other distances see Coach List.

This town, situated in one of the most fertile vales in our "sea-girt isle," is of considerable antiquity, several historians appearing strongly of opinion, that the Romans had a station here, called Ad Antonam, though that sta- tion was more probably on Bredon Hill ; but its authen- tic history commences in 701, when a monastery was founded here by Egwin the Third bishop of Worcester, as its charter of foundation states, because of a visit by the Virgin to Eoves, one of the bishop's swine herds in this part of his domains ; on its completion in 714, it was dedicated to the Virgin Mary, and the bishop resigned his mitre at Rome, and became the first Abbot. Eighteen Abbots succeeded the founder, and faithfully retained all the possessions acquired by the blessed Egwin, du- ring a period of 200 years, when it suffered most severely

it was possessed by secular canons, and from the latter period till 1014, it suffered several vicissitudes ; but, then became possessed by the Benedictine order, who appear peacefully to have retained it till Doomsday Survey, about 1080, when the possessions of this monas- this county ; and it had been dispossessed of abovel 1,000 acres by different spoilators.

Towards the end of the eleventh, or early in the twelfth century, Abbot Walter erected a considerable part of a new Church, which was completed by subsequent abbots, and considerably surpassed the original monastery in extent and architectural ornament ; being about 300 feet from &. to W., and containing a choir, chapel of the Virgin, transept or great cross aisle, lateral aisles, chapter-house, cloisters, and bell tower ; the last with the door-way of the chapter house and a part of the grand gateway, being all that remain of this once magnificent structure. The monastery occupied the whole of this beautiful fer- tile peninsula ; being bounded on the E , S., and W., by the river, and on the N. by a strong lofty wall, which completely protected the brethren from intrusion, extend- ing to the river on both sides. Fifty -five abbots pre- sided over this sacred edifice, Egwin being the first, and Clement Lichfield, who died October 1546, was the last ; he voluntarily resigned his abbacy in 1539, and this magnificent establishment was suppressed the same year, annum, but undoubtedly far exceeded that sum, beingone of the richest, and last dissolved religious houses in England, and included 89 men in orders, and 65 servants. The sacred edifice, and the greater part of its possessions were granted for service and value received, to Sir Philip lease as a stone quarry; which thus accounts for the principal part of the noble structure being removed, the materials being sold to erect other buildings.

Whatever dwellings the ancient Britons or the Romans might have here, the actual origin of Evesham must date from the foundation of its monastery, and seems bug to have been confined to the necessities of the religious brethren, for in Doomsday-book, the whole population,

including Bengeworth, does not appear to have amounted to above 100, and in 1096, the inhabitants of the abbey being 143, we may assume those of the town at an equal number. In 1636, Evesham ranked among the nine highest rated corporate boroughs in the kingdom, and paid £74. as " ship money ;" so that the destruction of the monasteiy does not seem to have diminished, but rather to have allowed of a considerable extension of the town ; and during the last two centuries it has continued to increase in extent, external appearance and internal arrangement and comfort, and in wealth and respecta- bility; and is now second to none of its size in these respects, and excels most places in its beautiful site, fine prospects, fertile soil, and salubrious air.

Evesham has fully borne its share of the horrors of war, a castle existed for some time in Bengeworth, but was destroyed by abbot De Anville, about 1150 ; one of the most memorable military slaughters in the annals of our country, throws into the shade all other matters of this kind connected with the town. " The Battle of Evesham" took place to the N. of the town, the conflict being most deadly in the low ground, called the Battle-well, near the Abbey Manor House; and the slain are by some morable carnage, took place on the afternoon of Wednes- day, August 4th, 1265, between Edward, afterwards Edward I. and the Earl of Leicester; who held Edward's father, Henry III., in bondage ; and who was completely routed, and with most of his noble followers slain, and King Henry released ; and the ambitious nobles under Leicester completely overthrown.

Nothing remarkable of a war-like nature, occurred here till the conduct of Charles I. rendered the monarchy insupportable in England, and caused a civil war, end- ing in the establishment of a republic, which existed 9 years. During these changes effected by violence, Eves- ham, from its insular position, its rich soil furnishing plenty of supplies, and from its being on the road from Oxford to Worcester, the then two strong holds of royalty, was garrisoned by the King in 1642 ; deserted terwards taken by the parliamentary forces under Massey,

from Gloucester, in June 1645, after a most determined resistance, and retained by them to the end of the war ; since which time the history of Evesham is written, in the peaceful establishment of Institutions for subduing ignorance, ministering to the spiritual and temporal wants of its inhabitants, and in increasing their comfort, and the respectability of the Borough.

Though not considered a manufacturing town, Evesham fabricates several articles both for its own use, and for exchange with neighbouring towns; particularly parch- ment, ribbons, and oil cake ; all which will be noticed under the proper heads subsequently ; but the town and district are, and long have been, most famed for the ex- cellency and profusion of their vegetable productions, both roots, fruit, and com ; most places within 30 or 40 miles, receiving their supply of vegetables and fruit either wholly or in part, from this town and neighbour- hood. See also Gardening, &c.

The situation of the town is peculiarly eligible and pleasant, seated on a gentle eminence, nearly encircled by the winding Avon, amid shady orchards, fertile mea- dows, and highly cultivated gardens ; and is uninjured by the smoke incident to a large manufacturing town. From whatever point Evesham is entered, neatness, and order present to the eye an example of cleanliness sel- dom met with; and the solidity of the mansions, houses, and shops, the peaceful order, and genteel appearance of the inhabitants passing to and fro, are strong evidences of the respectability of the place.

The town consists of four principal streets, with several smaller ones branching in different directions. High-el is by far the widest, and extends a considerable length from N. to S. ; nearly in a line with its southern extrem- ity is Vine-street, also spacious, and equally respectable; from the junction of these two streets, Bridge-street branches nearly E., and contains many respectable shops and mansions, but is narrower than the two streets before named ; it extends to the bridge, whence its name ; and on the other side of the bridge, is Port-street form- ing the main street of Bengeworth. and enlivened by a pur- ling stream running down each side of the road. The Mar- ie it-place, in the S.W. angle, formed by the junction of

Bridge and Vine-streets, is very spacious, well paved, and surrounded by substantial erections ; among which, the Guildhall stands conspicuous. The streets are kept very clean, and in good repair, and are well lighted with gas ; and the shops are furnished with every necessary and luxury, so that Evesham is equal to most places in these constituents of comfort and civilization; while its surpassing beauty, and healthful atmosphere, present strong attractions to visitants, who will find excellent society here, as the town and neighbourhood abound with respectable families, whose mansions are seen in various directions enlivening and adorning the land-

All Saints Parish Church is a good stone edificej near the abbey tower, erected in the 13th century; and is noted as being the burial place of Abbot Lichfield, who enlarged this church and that of St. Lawrence, and erected the abbey tower ; the interior is spacious, and contains two aisles and a singing gallery, in which is a fine toned organ : the church contains 744 seats : the living is a discharged vicarage, in the gift of the Crown, and the Rev. John Marshall, M. A., is the present vicar. Service every Sunday morning at 11, and in the afternoon at 3 ; William Robins is clerk, and the Sun- day school is on Merstowe Green.

St. Lawrence Parish Church is a stone edifice, erected also in the 13th century, on the S. side of Vine Street, in the same yard and standing near to All Saints and the abbey tower. This church till lately was in ruins, but in 1837 it was in some measure restored to its ancient magnificence, at an expense of upwards of fine new organ was opened here. The living is a perpetual curacy, generally held with All Saints ; the Rev. John Marshall, M. A. is incumbent ; the Rev. Joseph Harling, M. A. curate, and Henry White is clerk ; there are 787 seats, of which 682 are free. Service com-" mences at 11 every Sunday morning, and half-past 6 in the evening ; and the Sunday school is taught in the

St. Peter's, or Bengeworth Parish Church is situated in Church Street, adjoining the upper part of Port Street, and is supposed to have been erected in the thirteenth century by the abbey of Evesham ; much of the materials employed in its erection were obtained from the demolished castle. The church is of rather irregular form, ornamented by a tower and spire ; in 1832 the church yard was enclosed with a substantial brick wall, at the expense of the parishioners ; and an organ and gallery were added at the W. end by subscription, at an expense of £202. In the southern aisle stands a splendid monument, to the memory of John Deacle, Esq., founder of the charity school, at Bengeworth. The living is a perpetual curacy; the patron is the Rev. Thomas Marsden, and the incumbent the Rev. John Shaw. The number of sittings is 451. The service commences at half-past 10 in the morning, and at 6 in the evening ; Charles Baylis is clerk ; and a Sunday school is taught in the church.

Baptist Chapel, in Cowl Street, was erected in were added, and a new vestry built, at an expense of 118 being free ; and there is a small organ ; the congre- gation elect their pastor ; the Rev. John Hockin is the present minister. Service every Sunday morning at half-past 10, a quarter before 3 in the afternoon, and 6 in the evening, and on Thursday evening at 7. A Sun- day school is taught in the vestry, and the chapel is licensed for the solemnization of marriages. A congre- gation existed here in 1704, and worshipped in a barn, at the top of Port Street; they erected a small chapel in 1754, but has been taken down since Oat-street chapel was erected, though the burial ground is still used. A Baptist Chapel was also built in Mill-st., in 1789 and is a neat edifice, containing 320 sittings, the congre- gation elect their pastor, and the Rev. George Cole is the present minister ; service every Sunday morning at a Sunday school is taught in the vestry.

Friends Meeting House in Cowl-st., is the oldest

dissenting chapel in the borough, having been appro- priated to its present purpose since 1676. The society was formed here by George Fox, in 1655, and, as in most other towns at that period, they suffered violent persecution from the " powers that be". The chapel is a very plain edifice, in a retired situation, approached by a court yard, and contains sittings for 140, service Sunday forenoon at 11, afternoon at 3, and on Thursdav forenoon

Unitarian Chapel, sometimes called Presbyte- rian, situated in Cowl-st., is a stone edifice having a neat interior, containing 200 sittings ; a gallery was added in 1820, and other Improvements made amoun- ting to full £200, defrayed by the late Mr. Anthony New, and in 1829 the same gentleman presented an organ. The congregation elect their own pastor, their present minister is the Rev. Timothy Davis, service Sunday Sunday school is near the chapel.

Wesleyan Methodist Chapel in Chapel-st., is an appropriate brick structure, together with a dwelling house and garden for the minister, and a burial ground, by Mrs. Guy, of Great Hampton, together with public subscriptions ; the present ministers are the Rev. Thomas Fletcher, and the Rev. George Hobill, appointed by the Wesleyan Conference. The number of seats are 250, 120 of which are free; service every Sunday morning at school in connection with the chapel.

Abbey Tower, or Bell, begun by abbot Lich- field in 1533, remains a noble specimen of the architecture of that period, being in excellent preserva- tion. Various reasons are assigned, but no historical fact given, why, amid the general wreck of the abbey, the stones of this tower were not sold as well as the rest ; but so it is, and it remains in its prestine massive- ness, and just proportions, the admiration of all visitors. It is a square highly ornamented tower, 110 feet high ; consisting of three stories, surmounted with an embattled parapet, and carved pinnacles, and contains a musical set of bells and very pleasant chimes.

Agricultural Implements are made to great per- fection in Evesham, and form an important branch of business, as the husbandman can never perform his task well, unless aided by good instruments ; the manu- facturers here have been long noted for the excellency of

Avon River is now of considerable advantage, being navigable from Stratford 18 or 1 9 miles higher on the river than Evesham ; and by this means, coal, and other heavy materials are obtained in the vale of Evesham, at a comparatively cheap rate, and agricultual produce sent in return. This, at that time important work, was com- who spent £20,000. in this laudable manner ; but being unable to complete it, he resigned the work to parlia- ment, and it was completed by W. Say, Esq., during the Commonwealth. The river was made navigable to Stratford about 1670, and from that town to the Severn, there are 14 locks ; 6 above, and 8 below Evesham.

Banks. There are two of these highly valuable insti- tutions for commercial purposes, and one for the savings of the provident labourer, and small tradesman. The Savingshaiik was established so recently as May 27, 1839; on the 20th November, there were 90 depositors, who had year, the number of depositors had increased to 1 23, and are now still rapidly increasing. The banks are open

Bible Society; a branch was established in 1811, and has been very effectively conducted, having contri- buted above £5,000. to the parent society, and distribu- ted between 9 and 10,000 copies of the scriptures, in the town and neighbourhood.

Bone Manure is manufactured here to a great ex- tent, having been commenced in 1831 ; it adds much to the fertility of the land when judiciously applied.

Bridge. The bridge by which the town is entered from Bengeworth, on the S.E., is a very ancient struc- ture, and was known to exist here in the 12th century, It consists of 8 irregular, very ancient looking arches, and the thoroughfare is scarcely wide enough for two car-

riages. There was anciently another bridge, near two miles higher on the Avon, at the foot of Twyford-lane, but it is now entirely demolished.

Charities for the relief of the poor in bread, clothing, &c, and for other benevolent purposes, are numerous in Evesham; and evince the generous disposition of its present and past inhabitants.

Christian Knowledge Society. A district asso- ciation was established here in 1817, and has been the means of doing a considerable amount of good within the district, by distributing the society's tracts, &c.

Corporation, established by charter, from James I., capital burgesses ; and by a second charter in 1605, of a mayor, 7 aldermen, 12 common councilmen, and 24 assistants ; but the town is now governed by a mayor, 4 by the general act for reforming all corporations in Eng- land and Wales, passed in 1835.

Courts. The magistrates hold a petty sessions for the county, at the Police Office, High-street, on Monday, and at the Town-hall on Thursday, for the borough. The present Magistrates are the Mayor, J. New, Esq., and land, and W. Soley, Esqrs.

Deacle's Free School Port-street, Bengeworth, was founded by John Deacle, Esq., in 1709, with cost £335. 9s.; and the original sum, with compound now produces about £250. per annum. The number of scholars are 30, who are educated and clothed, and a certain proportion of them apprenticed.

Fairs are held here for cattle, horses, &c. ; Feb. 2nd, the second Monday after Easter-day, Whit-Monday, the second Monday in August, Sep. 21st, and the 2nd, Monday in December ; and Statutes, or as they are here termed "Mops," for hiring servants, are held the Fri. before, and the Fri. after Old St. Michaelmas-day.

Gardening is, and long has been the principal source of employment for labour and capital here ; having been first most likely introduced by the monastic brethren.

The soil is remarkably fertile, vegetables, roots, and fruit, are produced in great abundance ; even London, Bath, and other distant markets, being supplied with some of the choice articles ; and Birmingham, Cheltenham, Cov- entry, Dudley, Warwick, Worcester, &c, receive much of their supply from this neighbourhood. Nearly 500 acres are under garden culture, in All Saint's, St. Law- rence, and Bengeworth parishes, at rents in some instan-

Gas Works were erected here in 1836, at consider- able expense, by the proprietor, Mr. J. Gibbs ; on the right bank of the river, in a beautiful situation above the bridge, according to plans, and under the superintendence of Mr. Richardson of Dudley, and are on the most ap- proved principle ; adding much to the comfort and con- venience of the Inhabitants, the streets, many of the places of worship, and shops are now lighted by this useful vapour.

Gloving or the sewing of kid gloves, is a mode of employment followed by many females here, the Wor- cester manufacturers attending once a week, or fortnight,

'RTicuLTURAL Society, established in 1827, and called the "Vale of Evesham Horticultural Society, to encourage the cultivation of choice flowers, fruits and culinary vegetables." The exhibitions are six annually, held in the Town-hall between April and September, and the society is one of the most respectable and useful provincial Institutions of the kind, giving a great stim- ulus to excel in this useful art, both by the example of its members, and the valuable rewards given.

Grammar School see Prince Henry's, ditto ditto.

Infant School, erected by subscription, in 1831, at an expense of £680., forms a pleasing termination to Chapel-st., being in the pointed order of architecture, and having a play ground, and house for the mistress.

[nns in Evesham, are extensive and respectable, affording ample and agreeable accommodation for either commercial men, or for occasional sojourners in this in- teresting and delightful locality. The Crown, and the White Heart, are on the S. W. side of Bridge-st., in the town, and the Northwick Anns is pleasantly situated, fronting the river on the London road from Worcester,

several of the Taverns are of a respectable order, and the Farrier's Arms and King's Head, have many earners.

Library and News-room founded in 1819, and now held in the Market place, in an appropriate edifice, erected number of volumes in the library is above 2,000, and the

Lying-in Charity established here in 1807, is of great service in mitigating sufferings among mothers of necessitous families, at times when help is really needed.

Markets have been held here time immemorial, Monday and Friday are the days appointed for holding the market under the charter, but the latter day is almost unobserved at present ; the market is held in the spacious area under the Town Hall, and the open Market-place.

Mechanic's or Literary and Scientific Institu- has an excellent apparatus, and a well selected library. The receipts of the Institution for the year ending May, variety of important subjects had been illustrated to the members and friends of the Institution, by numerous talented Lecturers ; and this Institution does much good in affording cheap practical knowledge, to the inhabitants of the Town and Neighbourhood, in a popular manner. The library and reading room are open in the evenings,

Members of Parliament were returned by Evesham to the first Parliament convoked, which included members from cities and towns, held in 1295 ; after which thne there is no evidence of any return being made from this borough, till the first charter of incorporation was granted, when two members were elected in 1604, and two representatives have been sent to the imperial legislature since that period. The number of electors is about 320 and in our alphabetical Directory of the borough, each elector's Name begins with an italic letter. The present Hon. Members are Lord Marcus Hill, and Mr. Rushout.

Missionary Societies are established in connection with most of the places of worship in the borough.

Nails are made in considerable quantities, and the horse-nails made here have lon^ been much esteemed

National School, Merstowe-green, erected in 1831 by subscription, and a gTant from the National school society. This school originated in a Sunday school, es- tablished in the Town-hall, in 1805, to which a day school was added in 1812, on Dr. Bell's system, some- time taught in the grammar school, it was united to the National Society in 1828.

Oil Cake for fattening cattle, and Linseed Oil, are extensively produced here, the business having been commenced about 1704, the present mill was erected on an entire new principle in 1806.

Parchment is made to great perfection in Evesham, and has long formed a peculiar and very useful branch of its manufactures.

Police Office, High-st., and Police Station, Town-hall, the latter contains 3 secure cells for the tem- porary confinement of delinquents ; the police force for the borough consists of two officers and an inspector, it was established in 1836, and has been very effective, both in preventing crime, and detecting offenders. The Inspector's house is at the Town-hall.

Prince Henry's Free Grammar School, founded by Abbot Lichfield, was discontinued at the dissolution of the Abbey, but re-endowed by the son of James I. The school was long unused for foundation purposes, but in 1829, it was nearly rebuilt, on the former site, in Merstowe-green.

Railway. During the past spring, laudable and ener- getic efforts were made by the inhabitants of Evesham , Worcester, and other towns, to induce the Commissioners appointed by government to report on the best line of railway between London and the Welch Coast, for Dublin, to adopt a line, commencing from the Great Western at Dudcot, S. of Oxford, passing close on the N. side of Evesham (crossing the Avon both on the E. and W. side of the town), a little N. of Pershore, and on the S. side of the city of Worcester ; from thence to Tenbury, Ludlow, Newtown, Dolgelly, &c, to Portdvnliaen, on the N.W. coast of Caernarvonshire, N. Wales, the total distance being 208 miles. The Commissioner* made their report in April, 1840, stating their preference for the line '»}' railway through Chester, Bangor, and Holy-

head ; because, there being already railways constructed to Chester, 85 miles of Railway to Holyhead, would com- plete the whole required line. The time estimated to complete a journey from London to Dublin by the Ches- ter route, is 17 hours 44 minutes, the time by the Eves- ham, Worcester, &c, (called the Imperial line) 14 hours and 47 minutes ; so that this route would have saved nearly 3 hours each journey.

Registrar's Office, Port-street, John Wadams, registrar, T. Foster, High-street, Evesham, deputy regis- trar for the Evesham district ; and J. Tustin, sen. of Broadway, registrar, and J. Tustin, jun. deputy registrar of the Broadway district of this Union.

Ribands have been woven here since 1822, and Silk-Throwing was introduced in 1792; but the latter is now discontinued.

Ropes, Twine, and Sacking, are also made to a con- siderable extent in Bengeworth, and of good quality.

Town, or Guildhall is an ancient substantial edi- fice on the N. side of the spacious Market-place, erected about 1570 ; it was much repaired, and an eastern wing added in 1833 and 4, the funds being liberally supplied by the members of the Corporation. On the first floor is the Hall, in which the Quarter Sessions for the Borough were held, and the Representatives are elected ; and open- ing from it is a second room, not quite so large as the first, in which the borough magistrates hold their weekly sessions, &c. Assemblies are also sometimes held here, when the gay and the light hearted, spend an evening joyfully together in rational recreation. This spacious civic edifice was lighted with gas in 1840, a new floor was laid in the great Hall, and other internal improve- ments made by subscription. The original Town-hall was near the bridge.

Visiting Society, established here in 1809 ; it has been productive of much good in relieving the wants of the poor in winter, and is well supported ; Miss E. Home

Woollen Cloth was formerly manufactured here to a great extent, as appears by Evesham sending a deputy to a council of trade in 1337, and by exclusive privileges

being granted to this town, with the city of Worcester, and three other places in England, in 1533, but the trade is long since extinct.

There are two Chapels belonging to the Lady Hunt- ingdon connexion in ihis parish, one is at Leigh-Sinton by subscription ; service every Sunday morning at i past 10, and evening at 6 ; the present minister is the Rev. Joseph London. There is a house and a small burial ground belonging to the above chapel.

At Leigh Sinton there is a Free School endowed with £21. per annum, and in Bransford Chapelry a school was commenced in 1838 for teaching the children of the poor to sew, knit, &c. one day in each week, and is very praiseworthily conducted by two ladies, who thus spend a little of their time in " doing good." The poor have long enjoyed the benefit of several charities, arising from about 32 acres of land, besides clothing and other articles generously given by several of the wealthy fami- lies in the parish, on proper occasions. At Chirkenhill, there was once a Chapel belonging the Abbey of Per- shore, suppressed by Henry VIII., but all vestiges of it are now gone, except a few traces of the burial ground.

This parish contains many villas and mansions well deserving of notice ; the principal ones are Hopton-court, the seat of A. S. Featherstonhaugh, Esq. ; Sherridge-hall, the seat of T.Jones, Esq., and Summer -villa, the seat of W. Longworth, Esq. ; the last is newly planted, and is an ornament to Malvern-Link.
