Abbey Park, on the former abbey site, is free to visit and offers lawns, flowerbeds, and a natural terrace with views over the River Avon. Nearby Workman Gardens runs alongside the water with level paths, making both spots ideal for a gentle riverside stroll or picnic.
Charles Lodge is an elegant collection of 49 one and two bedroom retirement apartments, complemented by landscaped gardens and a welcoming Residents’ Lounge where neighbours can relax, socialise and enjoy time together. In addition, Bewick Court offers a small and exclusive collection of seven two‑bedroom retirement cottages, providing an alternative lifestyle option within the same attractive setting.
Located in the historic market town of Evesham, both Charles Lodge and Bewick Court enjoy a wonderful position in the heart of Worcestershire. Framed by the River Avon, the town offers a variety of shops, cafés and local amenities, making it easy to stay active, independent and well connected to the local community. Whether you’re enjoying peaceful surroundings or getting out and about locally, Charles Lodge and Bewick Court offer the ideal balance of comfort, convenience and lifestyle.

How a new Churchill apartment could help reduce your costs:
We offer some of the lowest service charges in the retirement sector which is why many of our Residents are pleasantly surprised to find that the service charges work out lower than what they were paying, in comparable costs, on their previous home.
This is because the service charge combines a wide range of services and property-related expenses into a combined cost. Residents find they benefit from a more manageable and easier-to-budget lifestyle, without having to worry about unexpected maintenance bills.
We always aim to keep the service charge cost as low as possible, and we provide a full budget breakdown for all our Residents, consulting with them on this every 6 months.
The service charge covers:
- The cost of your dedicated Lodge Manager
- Security systems
- 24-hour Careline call monitoring system
- External maintenance of the building and grounds
- Heating & lighting of communal areas
- Provision of furnishings in communal areas
- Building insurance
Who is responsible for the management of the Lodge?
All developments are managed by Churchill Estates Management Limited, our own property management company, so you can be confident in the expertise of our team operating under the Churchill Group.
No exit fees, meaning no unexpected costs!
In 2025 we announced that Residents will no longer pay any exit fees when selling or subletting their apartments, making the process far more straightforward and hassle-free. Whilst many retirement housing providers still apply fees, we have set a new standard by abolishing them entirely - helping to provide greater peace of mind and making life simpler both for Residents and their families!
Calculating your savings...
We appreciate everyone's household costs will differ which is why we encourage Customers to complete a 'Savings Calculator' with one of our Sales Executives. This calculator is designed to offer a comprehensive understanding of the value in our easy to budget Service Charge.
A riverside market town on the edge of the Cotswolds, Evesham sits within the Vale of Evesham, a noted horticultural area. Surrounded by Worcestershire countryside and a short walk from the high street and local amenities, it is a pleasant and convenient place in which to enjoy retirement.
Beyond the town, the River Avon and the wooded slopes of the Cotswolds offer gentle scenery, with Broadway and its shops, galleries, and hilltop tower close by. Evesham lies roughly equidistant between Worcester, Cheltenham, and Stratford-upon-Avon for wider days out.
Local highlights
The remains of Evesham Abbey stand in grounds laid out as monastic gardens, with old fish ponds and an 18th-century herb garden. Close by, the Almonry Museum spans 12 rooms of local history, from prehistoric and Anglo-Saxon finds to social and horticultural displays.
The Handsam Boat Company runs scenic trips along the River Avon from Abbey Park, a relaxed way to enjoy the water and the town's green surroundings. On summer Sundays you can picnic in the park to live music, making an easy and sociable afternoon out.
The Regal Cinema shows new releases, arthouse films, and classics in an Art Deco setting. A restored single-screen cinema in the town, it offers a comfortable, characterful evening out, and the town's Arts Centre adds theatre, music, and comedy through the year.
What our Residents say
Don't just take it from us
“My social life has soared since moving here and I’ve made some very good friends, especially Fran. We have such a good laugh together!”
“I’m settling in well and getting to know my new neighbours, who are all very friendly and welcoming. One great thing about my new apartment is that I spend less time doing household chores and more time having fun. My family are glad I’ve made the move, as they know I’m safe and happy here. Churchill’s downsizing advisers and our Sales Executive Hilary were such a great help with the move, I couldn’t have done it without them!”
