Download or read book Evesham Inns and Signs written by T.J.S. Baylis and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2008-11-01 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1950s T.J.S. Baylis wrote a series of articles for the Evesham Journal on Evesham inns and signs. He was well suited to the task, being a native of Evesham, a former town councillor, a founder member and former chairman of the Vale of Evesham Historical Society, and one of the founder members of the Almonry Museum. The current book collects together his articles on Evesham inns and signs, supplementing them with appendices and indexes (on local people, places, trades, inns and innkeepers). These articles, the result of years of careful thought and detailed research, are full of humour and local knowledge and a boon to anyone interested in local inns, signs, or the history of the town.
Download or read book The Church and Vale of Evesham 700 1215 written by D. C. Cox and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2015 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In c.701, a minster was founded in the lower Avon Valley on a deserted promontory called Evesham. Over the next five hundred years it became a Benedictine abbey and turned the Vale of Evesham into a federation of Christian communities. A landscape of scattered farms grew into one of open fields and villages, manor houses and chapels. Evesham itself developed into a town, and the abbots played a role in the affairs of the kingdom. But individual contemplation and prayer within the abbey were compromised by its corporate aspirations. As Evesham abbey waxed ever grander, exerting a national influence, it became a ready patron of the arts but had less time for private spirituality. The story ends badly in the prolonged scandal of Abbot Norreis, a libertine whose appetites caused religion to collapse at Evesham before his own sudden downfall. This book integrates the evidence of archaeology, maps, and documents in a continuous narrative that pays as much attention to religious and cultural life as to institutional and economic matters. It provides a complete survey over one of the most important and wealthy Benedictine abbeys and its landscape, a stage on which was enacted the tense interplay of lordship and prayer."--Back cover.

Download or read book Dictionary of Pub Names written by and published by Wordsworth Editions. This book was released on 2006-09 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For hundreds of years, the public house in its many guises, from urban gin palace to wayside coaching inn, has been a charming and quintessential feature of British life, and hence the names and signs associated with pubs are a constant reminder of our history, cultural heritage, folklore and local identity.The Wordsworth Dictionary of Pub Names is a fascinating compilation containing nearly five thousand absorbing entries and can be dipped into for fun or consulted on a serious level for intriguing and amusing information not readily available elsewhere. The local pub is an institution unique to the British Isles, but since English literature abounds with references to hostelries past and present, real and imagined, and no tourist's itinerary is complete without a visit to one or several on their route, its virtues are celebrated worldwide and readers everywhere will enjoy an affectionate and, perhaps, nostalgic browse through the pages of this entertaining dictionary.

Book excerpt: Shortly after midnight, the blood-soaked body of Sean Makers, the owner of the Blue Boar Inn was found dead; was found dead; he had been murdered. These are the facts; the question is who did it. In the latest Jim Kirkwood adventure/mystery novel, Murder at the Blue Boar Inn, Jim, a self-indulgent, self-confident, and at times unsympathetic, connoisseur of human nature finds himself endeavoring to uncover the identity a cold-blooded killer, or killers from a cast of employees and patrons. Murder at the Blue Boar Inn is an Agatha Christie style waltz of suspects, ranging from a beautiful and mysterious woman, whom Jim almost met on the train, to the drunken prime suspect. In Murder at the Blue Boar Inn, Jim Kirkwood must overcome deception, and lies as he interlaces the unrelated into the "fabric of truth" and uncovers the murderer.
