n the Worcestershire market town of Evesham, history and community are never far apart. The town itself sits within a sweeping loop of the River Avon and grew around Evesham Abbey, a vast Benedictine monastery founded in the early eighth century after a local swineherd reportedly experienced a vision of the Virgin Mary on the site. At its height, the abbey was one of the largest and wealthiest religious houses in England, drawing pilgrims and shaping the town that developed around it. Today, although much of the abbey was dismantled during the dissolution of the monasteries in the 16th century, its surviving bell tower still stands as a reminder of the town’s long heritage. Just a short distance away, in a town centre still shaped by independent shops and traditional high street businesses, Abbey Appliances has been serving the local community since 1995.
