Binyon Close
Binyon Close is named after Charles Arthur Binyon, OBE (1874-1963), who devoted his adult life to the welfare of Badsey. He was a founder member of Littleton & Badsey Growers, a member of the Parish Council for around 50 years (22 of them as Chairman), a Manager of Badsey School for over 60 years (Chairman for 30 years), a member of the Board of Guardians and represented Badsey on the Evesham District Council and a magistrate for 33 years. The area of land on which Binyon Close was built was the plot of land which he owned for many years; it was some of the best market garden land in the village.
The plan of the land below was drawn by Berwick Bayliss in 1933 as part of a series of letters written by children at Badsey Council School.
