Almonry houses a collection that spans the prehistoric to the 20th Century.
Displayed over 12 rooms and a garden, the emphasis is on how Evesham
has developed and grown during this time. There are exhibitions about the
Abbey, the battle of Evesham in 1265, horticulture in the area, Anglo-Saxon

market town.
