Roger A. Higginson grew up in the historic town of Evesham and still maintains strong ties to the community, even though he now lives overseas. His passion for the town's history began at a young age, inspired by his grandfather, who often took Roger, his sister, and brother on walks through the battlefield from the Battle of Evesham.
The idea for Evesham: A Novel has been years in the making, born from a lifelong fascination with the town's past and the desire to tell its story in a way that captures both history and folklore. Roger's goal is not only to engage readers but also to raise awareness about the importance of preserving Evesham's unique historical heritage for future generations.
Step back in time and experience the rich tapestry of history, legend, and intrigue that shapes the English town of Evesham. Spanning from 198 BC to the 20th century, Evesham: A Novel weaves together the lives of fictitious families through the ages, illuminating the town's transformation from its earliest days to a vibrant hub of history and culture.
Witness the rise and fall of Evesham Abbey, once the third largest in England, guided by the miraculous visions of the swineherd Eof and St. Egwin. Follow the impact of Lady Godiva's enigmatic patronage and the terror of the Black Death as it swept through medieval streets. Feel the thunder of hooves and clash of swords during the Battle of Evesham, where Simon de Montfort made his stand in the Baron's War.
The novel masterfully intertwines real events and folklore, capturing the trials and triumphs of Evesham's people as they navigate the complexities of faith, war, and survival. With every era, new heroes rise—from Roman settlers laying the town's foundation to persecuted Quakers clinging to their beliefs, from a woman accused of witchcraft to smugglers evading the law.
Evesham: A Novel is a sweeping epic of human resilience and transformation, highlighting the rich history of one of England's most storied towns. An evocative journey through time, this historical saga explores the pulse of a community forged by the tides of history.
