Pershore

Pershore is famous for it's plums fine and also Pershore Abbey (pictured above). The current structure is far smaller than the original, which was damaged when the abbey was plundered during the dissolution of the abbeys.

Abbey Butchers are situated in Pershore Retail Market.

It's an attractive market, but I'm not sure if I agree with their web site which claims it is probably the best retail market in the country!

I can recommend Abbey Butcher's own Pershore sausage, which naturally contain local plums!

They also sell their home made Pershore faggots and pies. All their Beef is hung for three weeks.

In the picture you can also see their own cooked hams.
