EVESHAM ABBEY. Document on vellum, charter of Philip, last Abbot of the Monastery of the Blessed Virgin of Evesham, and the Convent in the same place, 20 November 1539, granting to Thomas Cromwell as lord of the manor of Oversley the annuity of £4 previously received by the abbots of Evesham for the lands in Oversley and Wykleford as well as the lands held by the abbots in the manor of Oversley for the use of Evesham's cell at Alcester, together with the Abbey's tithes and all other rights in Oversley, 275 x 365mm (some light soiling), seal of the Abbot of Evesham, approx. 85mm diameter, showing, within an architectural setting, the abbot presenting the abbey to the Virgin and Child, with the presentation of a royal charter below (rubbed, chipped to lower corner), pendant on vellum tag, framed and glazed. Provenance: annotation to upper margin by William Hamper recording the gift of the charter by Sir Charles Throckmorton, 13 December 1827.
Philip Hawford succeeded to the abbacy of Evesham in 1539 after the resignation of his predecessor (supposedly under pressure from Cromwell after his refusal to give up the abbey), and in the same year surrendered the abbey to the King, being rewarded with a pension of £240 and the deanery of Worcester. Dugdale gives the Abbey's revenues as £1183; the destruction of its magnificent buildings began immediately.
