Honeybourne

Honeybourne is a village and civil parish about 5 miles (8 km) east of Evesham, in the Wychavon district, in Worcestershire, England.

[5] Its antiquity is reflected in a local rhyme "when Evesham was bush and thorn there was a church at Honeybourne."

[4] The church fell out of use for worship from the 16th to the 19th centuries and was partitioned off into four or five tenements, while pig sties and sheds were built against the outside walls.

Other amenities include the Ranch caravan park, Indulgence skincare & beauty salon, hairdressers, 2 convenience stores (Co-Op and One Stop), a fish and chip shop, Post Office, Chinese takeaway, Indian takeaway, garage with petrol station, and Honeybourne Pottery.

[citation needed] However, with increased use of the Cotswold Line, the station was re-opened in 1981 with a single platform; work completed in 2011 saw this part of the line restored to double track and Network Rail enlarged Honeybourne to two platforms with a rather large, wheelchair-accessible bridge.

[9] A report prepared for Stratford-on-Avon District Council in 2012 stated that there was a good business case for restoring the Stratford-Cotswolds link line.

[10] In July 2015, a drunken squirrel caused hundreds of pounds' worth of damage to the Honeybourne Railway Club, when it emptied an entire barrel of beer onto the floor and knocked glasses and bottles from the shelves.
