Britain's What's On Event Guide
St James Church, Badsey
Heritage Open Day: Come along and see our historic church, its monuments, medieval graffiti and Commonwealth war graves. The bell tower will be open for tours, and there will be guided walks of historic village buildings at 11 a.m. & 2 p.m. starting at the church. Although Badsey belonged to Evesham Abbey from Saxon times, there was no stone church here until the 12th century. The chancel was added in 1295, closely followed by the transept. The tower followed a century later. No major changes were made until a restoration of the church was undertaken in 1885 when a new south aisle, porch and vestry were added. The churchyard contains several Commonwealth war graves, and visitors will be able to look at biographies of each soldier, and of other WW1 soldiers buried at Badsey.
