THE Almonry and the remains of Evesham Abbey are among the town heritage sites in danger of being lost.

Historic England lists the places most at risk of being lost as a result of “neglect, decay or inappropriate development” on its Heritage at Risk Register.

Updated in November 2023, 4,871 sites are listed across the country.

The Almonry, a timber-framed Grade I listed building now home to a popular museum, has been on the at-risk register since 2016.

Historic England says it is in a “very bad” condition, with its timber frame showing signs of structural instability and its slate roofing nearing the end of its life.

The museum is currently fundraising for a major repair and restoration project that will cost more than £2 million.

Also on the list is the remains of Evesham Abbey, which is a scheduled monument.

Historic England says it is in a “generally unsatisfactory condition” with “major localised problems” and is in need of management.

Part of the outer precinct wall of the abbey is listed separately on the register.

The Abbot Chyryton wall in Boat Lane was built by Abbot William de Chyryton between 1317 and 1344, and originally extended from the river to the abbey.

“Previous consolidation has partially failed due to vandalism,” Historic England says. “Some parts of the wall are still in very bad condition, and wall footings are diminishing.

“Discussions are ongoing with associated parties to agree a long term solution.”

St Peter’s Church in Port Street is in a poor condition with no agreed solution, according to Historic England.

The entry for the Grade II listed building says the “spire has shed stone, causing some of the churchyard to be roped off”.

An historic settlement site near Fernhill Farm, between Fladbury and Chadbury, is a scheduled monument described as being in “generally unsatisfactory” condition.

And a settlement site north of Spring Hill, Fladbury, is also vulnerable because of arable farming, it says on the register.
