Evesham Abbey, Grade I listed medieval abbey in Evesham, England.

The remaining structures of Evesham Abbey include a 16th-century bell tower, portions of the chapter house, and fragments of ancient walls on the grounds.

Founded in 701 by Saint Egwin following a vision by a swineherd named Eof, the abbey grew into one of England's most influential Benedictine monasteries.

The burial site of Simon de Montfort near the high altar is marked by a memorial monument established by the Archbishop of Canterbury in 1965.

The Almonry Museum and Heritage Centre, housed in the restored abbey buildings, presents exhibits about local history and the monastery's development.

The abbey's bell tower, constructed between 1529 and 1539, stands as the last major structure built before the monastery's dissolution in 1540.
