The Almonry is a historic 14th/early 15th Century building in Evesham, once home to the Almoner of the town's Benedictine Abbey. It later served as an ale house, offices, tea rooms and a private residence before becoming a museum centre in 1957. The museum itself is currently closed for a major restoration project, though its Gift Shop and Tourist Information Centre have temporarily relocated to nearby Merstow Green, open Monday to Saturday. It suits visitors curious about Evesham's monastic heritage and local history. There's no on-site café or parking, but the town centre offers plenty of eating options and several car parks. Located just 0.5 miles from Evesham station, with 24 bookable places to stay within 5 miles, it's a convenient addition to a visit to the area.
