Evesham Crescent – Named after the Vale of Evesham in southern Worcestershire, England. The Lyttelton family owned property in the Vale of Evesham from as early as the 13th century. Their family seat is Hagley Hall in Worcestershire. Several streets in this area have names associated with the Lyttelton family because they were formed on Rural Section 76, 700 acres on the “Lower Lincoln Road, Heathcote Bridge” purchased by Frederick Spencer, 4th Earl Spencer (1798-1857) and Conway Lucas Rose (1817-1910). Spencer’s interest in the land was passed on to his nephew, the Hon. George William Spencer Lyttelton (1847-1913), the 4th son of George William Lyttelton, 4th Baron Lyttelton (1817- 1876). First appears in street directories in 1958.
A reasonable amount of information from the library website and there is not a lot that I can add. Most houses seem to have been built in the 1950s with a couple of houses on back sections built in 1990s plus a house built in 2014. Mostly brick very ordinary looking houses. I suspect that many of these houses would have been built with government loans that was offered to returned servicemen. I remember in my Post Office days from the 1970s that the loans were paid at the Post Office and the customers had booklets that you stamped. It was called State Advances those days.
It was a pleasant street reasonably close to Barrington Mall and Barrington Park.
