Overview

History & significance

Little Malvern Priory is a Benedictine religious house founded in the twelfth century in Worcestershire, England. The priory survives today primarily as its stone-built church, which displays Perpendicular Gothic architectural features characteristic of the later medieval period, notably in its east window and chancel. As a daughter house of Great Malvern Priory, Little Malvern maintained its monastic function until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the sixteenth century. The surviving church structure represents an important example of medieval ecclesiastical architecture and continues to serve as a parish church, preserving substantial portions of its original monastic fabric.
