 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Evesham Abbey
He was buried in the abbey church and his shrine, beautified by subsequent abbots, became in after years one of the richest and most popular in the West of England, and many miracles are recorded as having taken place there.
The great abbey church, which, besides the magnificent shrine of St. Egwin, contained fifteen altars, was commenced in the eleventh century by Abbot Walter and gradually completed by several subsequent abbots.
Within the abbey precincts and under the very shadow of its minster, were two parish churches, erected by the monks for the use of the people of the town which had grown up around its walls.

The precincts of the abbey were as entirely shut in with their high wall and strong gates, all fortified in the Edwardian times, as any castle; and little of what went on in this self-contained society would be known to the people living without.
The legend of the foundation of the Abbey is engraved on the conventual seal in a series of scenes; and we know it was also depicted in the glass of one of the large windows in the church.
From Crowland Abbey, his earlier home, Wulsy was led blindfolded, that he might not be contaminated by the world, to Evesham, and near the church he built with his own hands a chapel in honour of Saint Kenelm, saint and martyr, with a cell adjoining, in which he spent the rest of his life.

At the Dissolution the rights of Evesham Abbey passed to the Crown, though in 1544 the presentation was made by Richard Schiplowe, of Norton near Evesham, by virtue of a grant made by the abbey before the Dissolution.
In 1378 licence was granted to Robert de Stretton to alienate in mortmain lands and rents to the yearly value of £10 for the establishment of a chantry at Stretton where two clerks were to pray for the souls of Edward III and Edward, Prince of Wales.

In 1086 the abbey of Pershore was holding the manor of Beoley.
No under-tenant is mentioned in the Domesday Survey, but in the next century William Beauchamp held these 21 hides under the church of Pershore, and his descendants apparently continued as mesne-lords until they acquired the manor in fee c.1265.
The abbey of Alcester which was founded in 1140 by Ralph Boteler, received a grant of the church from Geoffrey de Limesi and his mother Hawise, and it was confirmed to them by Henry II.
