Evesham is a middle-sized, rural market town in Worcestershire, UK in the Local Authority District of Wychavon. Roughly equidistant between Worcester, Cheltenham, and Stratford-upon-Avon, it was originally built within a loop of the River Avon, which flows through the Vale of Evesham. The surrounding area (the Vale of Evesham) is known for fruit growing and market gardening, due to its unusually fertile soil which, on a commercial level, has led to a large number of migrant temporary workers living in the Vale, but also means it is one of the country's most well-known production centres for fruit and vegetables.
The Vale of Evesham at its height was second only to Kent as the Garden of England. Evesham was the site of a major battle—the Battle of Evesham, in which Simon de Montfort was defeated and killed on 4 August 1265. It was also home to one of Europe's largest abbeys, of which only Abbot Lichfield's Bell Tower remains. Evesham Abbey was founded by Saint Egwin, third Bishop of Worcester.
