We hope you're all having a fabulous Half Term! We've been going through an old What's On guide from 1926. Did you know Evesham used to have its own outdoor pool?
We've also found a picture of this old hotel in a 1921 Evesham Regatta programme. Can you identify the building? It's still there

#ObjectOfTheWeek Not so much an object as an event. This week it's the Battle of Evesham under the spotlight. On 4th August 1265, Evesham bore witness to a battle that was referred to by a contemporary chronicler, as 'The murder of Evesham, for battle it was none'.

#ObjectOfTheWeek This week we're looking at the growth of Evesham. In 1604 Evesham was granted it's first Town Charter, this one is an updated version from 1605. The charter gave Evesham certain rights and privileges including raising taxes, holding a market and even the right to erect a gallows.

#ObjectOfTheWeek This week we're keeping it local. Any guesses as to what these are? The Vale of Evesham is famous for Market Gardening and particularly Aspargus. Did you know Evesham Asparagus has PGI status like Champagne and Melton Mowbray Pork Pies?
These are a Gras Box and a Gras Knife.

#ObjectOfTheWeek This week we're going bling with our Anglo Saxon burial. This beautiful collection was found by a Metal Detectorist and includes Saucer Brooches, shield bosses, and spears. The key object has to be this stunning Cruciform Brooch, followed by a string of gorgeous Amber beads.

What's the oldest Christmas decoration you have?
Here's ours. These trees date from c.1930s/1940s. First one is made with dyed feathers and the second was made by a bottle brush manufacturer!

#ObjectOfTheWeek Did you know we have our very own Medieval Map of the World? Drawn in 1390 by the monks of Evesham Abbey, it offers a unique perspective of the world. The original is at the College of Arms but we have a great reproduction in the museum. Can you guess where England is on the map?

⚠️ Pontypridd has been hit by devastating floods and our wonderful independent bookshop, Storyville Books, has seen much of its stock destroyed.
If you’re able to buy a book from them, this would go such a long way to help support them rebuild in the aftermath.

Poor Basil!
This week’s Elf Factor brings some serious noise! Basil the Elf takes to the stage with a metal rendition of "Rudolph the Devil's Reindeer," hoping his guitar skills will win a spot. 🎸🤘 But will this be his year?

If you’re local to Knighton you may like this. We’ve done it in rain, snow (had to shovel snow from the clock tower steps) and every other kind of weather. The only year we missed was 2020.

Our Restoration Project story began in early 2020 when we commissioned an updated Building Survey. It wasn't good news. The building was in serious need of work to rotten timbers, failing roofs, loose plaster panels, poor rainwater goods.... The pandemic stopped any plans to apply for NLHF funding
