Summary "Evesham" by E. H. New is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the rich history of the town of Evesham, exploring its architecture, significant events, and notable figures, particularly focusing on the now-dissolved Abbey of Evesham and its impact on the community. Through detailed descriptions and narratives, the author highlights the contrast between the town's historic charm and its modern developments. The opening of "Evesham" establishes the author's profound appreciation for the town's architectural heritage, lamenting the loss of traditional character in modern buildings. New articulates a nostalgic view that celebrates the individuality and craftsmanship of historical constructions, using Evesham as a prime example. It sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the town's past, including the monastic origins of Evesham, the importance of the River Avon, and key historical events like the Battle of Evesham, all of which are expected to unfold in subsequent chapters. The initial tones blend admiration with a sense of urgency to preserve the past, indicating New's intention to document and celebrate Evesham's unique narrative for future generations.
