This is one of two parish churches in the precincts of Evesham Abbey. The original church on this site was first mentioned in 1195, and rebuilt about a hundred years later. The present church is from the late fifteenth century with an early sixteenth century south Chapel. After the Abbey's dissolution in 1540 the St Lawrence's fortune declined. It is now looked after by the Churches Conservation Trust, having been declared redundant in 1978. The church consists of a western tower with short spire, west doorway, clerestoried nave with four bay north and south aisles, chancel and chapel off the south aisle. The nave arcades are identical and extend into the chancel. There is no chancel arch. The south chapel is dedicated to Saint Clement and was built by Abbot Lichfield as his chantry around 1500. It has a carved fan vaulted roof with a central pendant. There was once a stone screen across the entrance. By the 18th C. the church had become very dilapidated. An extensive, but poor reconstruction took place in 1730, but by 1800 the roof had collapsed and the church was again unusable. In 1837 it was restored under Harvey Eginton who rebuilt the north side and replaced the roof. He also added a twin pulpit, reredos and reading desk. Further work in 1892 added stepped encaustic tiled floors and new seating. The church has a good selection stained glass windows by a variety of makers over a period of about 100 years. The octagonal font in the south aisle is mediaeval; there is also a replica in the Lichfield Chapel.

«The rooms are ok, but the food is a bit inconsistent for our our stay. The breakfast was fine but the service was slow due to lack of staff. (20 mins for some gluten free toast) The British obsession with dogs such that they welcome them into the hotel is somewhat puzzling as food is being served in the bar yet dogs are being feed by the owners from the table! The hotel has an odour of dog which really should not be there. No dogs should be around any place that is serving food!!! However the ...

«Great situation, good views, great food though the continental Breakfast bore little resemblence to whats offered on the real continent. Likely a result of Brexit ? Staff were excellent and were very helpfull and welcoming. Like many UK Hotels the use of carpets everywhere means it has a musty or damp smell. Wifi seemed to be pore. UK mobile network seemed very intermittent in our our room which also suffered from traffic noise. However all in all the Hotel which bought back memories from 50 ...

Old Manse Hotel Bourton by Greene King Inns

Cheltenham

«Hyggelig gammelt hotell med knirkende trapper og gamle men gode rom. Seng og plass på rommet er bra. Meget hyggelig betjening som serverte mat og drikke både inne og ute. Renhold er bra men det er et gammelt hotell. Fikk god engelsk frokost som var inkludert i rommet, variert meny for de fleste. Fantastisk flott sted og hotellet ligger midt i senter. Gratis parkering for leiebilen i bakgården. Vi koste oss i nærområdet samt turer til aktiviteter i regionen.»
