Simon de Montfort Society 

If you are interested in this very colourful character and the history of the area around his last battle, may I suggest you join the Evesham based Simon de Montfort Society 

The Lion Magazine, which comes out three times a year. Contains excellent  researched articles on the Evesham area, Churches and battle sites ,etc, plus details of all the meeting dates and events.

Even if like me you cannot get to all these meets ,walks and talks the magazine is well worth the £8 annual subscription .

  

 

There are again great talks and outings this year. 

Please click for this years programme 

The Society also has a few small books, a couple of which are

The Lost Abbey of Evesham.

A history of the Abbey where Simon de Montfort is buried.

Simon de Montfort

A new account of the last hours, with maps of the battlefield

Both I recommend, great reference material.
