The Building ...The extent of the stabling in 1835 suggests that the building may once have served as an inn. By 1845 it was divided into separate dwellings. In 1929 it was sold by the Rudge family to Evesham corporation. The borough council hoped that it would one day be used as a museum but that became possible only in the 1950s when a voluntary body able and willing to manage a museum, the Vale of Evesham Historical Society, came into existence. The Almonry Museum was opened in 1957 though some parts of the premises remained in other tenants' hands until 1973. |
