The recent post of a postcard on ebay, described as a Badsey military funeral, led to a descendant of the deceased (not the seller) giving background information explaining the occasion. As the postcard was written in 1916, it was probably assumed that it was a WWI funeral, but in fact the reality was quite different.
Offenham View has a postal address of Evesham but is located in the parish of Aldington and the Badsey ward/electoral division. The road is so-called because it has views across the fields to the neighbouring parish of Offenham.
