THE HISTORY AND ANTIQUITIES OF Situation--Origin and Etymology--Chronological series of the Abbots. EVESHAM lies in the hundred of Blakenhurst, in the county of Worcester; it is 96 miles distant from London, 1.6 from Worcester, 16 from Cheltenham, 26 from Warwick, and 28 from Leamington: it is in the direct road from London to Worcester; and the nearest road from Cheltenham to Warwick and Leamington runs through it. The name has at various periods been Homme or Hauni, Hethchomme, Cronuchomme, and Aethamme. They are all corrupted from, or compounds of the word Holm, f which in the Saxon language signifies a river island, and sometimes a hill or rising ground: in both these senses is the word Tindal's History of Evesham, p 1. f In Dugdale's Warwickshire it is said that Ham signified habitation Mam or Holm likewise signifies meadow. B applicable to Evesham, as it is almost insulated by the river Avon, and is situated on a steep bank, rising in most places abruptly from the river. After the foundation of the abbey, it acquired the appellation of Eovesholme, which signifies the island of Eoves, a herdsman to whom (as we are informed by ancient legends) the Virgin Mary appeared on the identical spot, where, by her especial command, the abbey was afterwards erected: in process of time, this name assumed its present one of Evesham, which is now often abbreviated and pronounced Esam. Egwin (called St. Egwin by the courtesy of the monks) the third bishop of Worcester, was the founder of this abbey: he began to build A. D. 702, but the consecration of the church did not take place, till A. D. 714.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the crescendo of the Second Barons' War were the battles of Lewes and Evesham. It was an era of high drama and intrigue, as tensions between crown and aristocracy had boiled over and a civil war erupted that would shape the future of English government. In this detailed study, Richard Brooks unravels the remarkable events of the battles of Lewes and Evesham, revealing the unusually tactical nature of the fighting, in sharp contrast to most medieval conflicts which were habitually settled by burning and ravaging. At Lewes, Simon de Montfort, the powerful renegade leader of the Baronial faction, won a vital victory, smashing the Royalist forces and capturing Henry III and Prince Edward. Edward escaped, however, to lead the Royalist armies to a crushing victory just a year later at Evesham. Using full colour illustrations, bird's-eye views and detailed maps to generate an arresting visual perspective of the fighting, this book tells the full story of the battles of Lewes and Evesham, the only pitched battles to be fought by English armies in the mid-13th century.
