Vale of Evesham History Portal

Founded in 1951 the V.E.H.S. functions as a local history club, a centre for research into local history and as an educational resource centre, co-operates with the Worcestershire County Archaeological Service on archaeological projects in the area and publishes books and monographs on topics of historical interest to the locality.

The Society has its headquarters at the Evesham Almonry Heritage Centre. The Almonry is managed by Evesham Town Council with the aid of the V.E.H.S. The Society, which is governed by a committee of officers and committee members, has been intimately linked with the Almonry Heritage Centre since it opened as a museum in 1957.

The V.E.H.S. meets at the Almonry every Thursday at 7.30 p.m. and arranges lectures with a local historical theme on the last Thursday of each month between September and April (see our Calendar for details).
