Very soon some new signs will appear around the village.  Many of you will be familiar with these but, for those of you who are not, they are called QR codes (Quick Response code) and reveal information about the village.  At a fascinating talk, Alan Tutton introduced us to the concept of the trail.  By holding a smart phone up to the code, information about a place in the village will be revealed.  It is hoped that this will be an innovative way of getting the younger generation interested in village history.

Wayne Perkins, an archaeologist and former pupil of Evesham High School, came to give a talk in St James’ Church about the historic graffiti that may be found there.  He writes: 

The sixth Richard Phillips Memorial Lecture was presented by Alan Eames.  Maureen Spinks, who was present at the lecture via Zoom, made her introductory speech from over 2,000 miles away from the volcanic island of Lanzarote whose geology is in stark contrast to that of Badsey.  Alan, whose articles in Community News, have been enjoyed by Badsey and Aldington residents, then proceeded to tell us about how the geology of Badsey has been affected by continental drift over the millennia.
