Bowers Hill
How did the road get its name?
The derivation of the name Bowers Hill is uncertain. Terry Sparrow, in his chapter on Bowers Hill in Aldington and Badsey, Villages in the Vale, suggests that it may come from the obsolete term for a husbandman. With regard to the “Hill” part of the name, whilst there is no significant hill, it is certainly higher than other parts of the parish, with the 50-metre contour line passing close to the Bowers Hill farmhouse. Bowers Hill forms an extension of Willersey Road on its east side.
Allsebrook Gardens
How did the road get its name?
Allsebrook Gardens is named after Canon William Carmont Allsebrook, Vicar of Badsey and Wickhamford from 1903-1945, who was also Rural Dean of Evesham from 1921-1945 and Honorary Canon of Worcester Cathedral from 1930-1946. The old Vicarage where he lived was demolished in 1971, ten new houses were built on the land, and a new Vicarage was built in the High Street.
