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.
