Evesham: gateway with Church House
A limestone and half-timbered gateway in the old town of Evesham (Worcestershire, in west-central England) on a partly sunny early afternoon in mid-May.
This historic gateway leads from the grounds of the former Evesham Abbey to a small square; it was initially built under Abbot Reynold, also known as Reginald, who was abbot of this Benedictine monastery from 1130 to 1149. The black-and-white half-timbered building towards the centre and right is named Church House.
Just on the other side of the gateway, a bit of the Gateway Tearooms can be glimpsed towards the right (including outdoor seating).
While not many of the older buildings survive in this market town, the small historic area is very appealing.
