Eof (also Eoves) was a swineherd (or possibly a shepherd, scholars dispute the matter) who claimed to have seen a vision of the Virgin Mary at Evesham in England. Eof related this vision to Egwin, Bishop of Rochester, who founded the great Evesham Abbey on the site of the apparation. Evesham means Eof's ham (homestead). The legend of Eof's vision is to be commemorated by a bronze statue sited in the town centre paid for by public subscription and created by the british born sculptor John McKenna.
