Badsey is a village 2 miles to the east of Evesham and has an excellent website for family history researchers. It contains much about modern day Badsey, but also much historical information. The records section contains censuses from 1841 to 1901, parish registers, monumental inscriptions and many other records most of which are indexed. There are also indexes to people and places. It has information on, and links to, adjacent parishes. Anyone with an ancestor from this area should visit this site.
