Brother Willie Postcard Gallery

Home ] Up ]

Local artist Barbara Butcher has painted a number of original and humorous views on Evesham Abbey in its heyday, centring on our old friend "Brother Willie".

With Barbara's kind permission six of these views have been published as postcards, available from the Almonry Heritage Centre in Evesham.
