Pershore Lewis Worcestershire Directory 1820
Pershore, a market town, consisting of two parishes, Saint Andrews and Holy Cross, 9 miles from Worcester, 9 ½ from Tewkesbury, and 103 from London, near the junction of the river Avon with the Bow, containing about 400 houses and 2000 inhabitants; the main street is near three quarters of a mile long and a considerable sum of money has been collected for paving the footway with flag stones, which will be a considerable improvement to the town. The parish is of great extent, having several manors and chapelries within its limits. In the reign of Edward the 1st this town sent 2 members of parliament, but never since. The church of Holy Cross contains several ancient monuments, it has a square tower with 8 bells, and is a curacy to St. Andrews, which is small and has a square tower with 6 bells. Here was formerly an extensive abbey of Benedictine Monks. The Market is on Tuesday, and the Fairs Easter Tuesday, June 26th, first Monday in August and the Tuesday before the 1st of November. The great Fair has usually been held in the church-yard, but we understand the Magistracy are determined to prevent a recurrence of a practice so disgraceful.
