Pershore Abbey is a monastic site in Worcestershire that originated in the Anglo-Saxon period, with the earliest phases of occupation dating to the seventh century. The surviving remains consist principally of the abbey church, of which the crossing tower and choir constitute the most substantial medieval elements, largely rebuilt during the Perpendicular period of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The abbey was established as a Benedictine foundation and developed into one of the significant religious houses of the English Midlands, playing an important role in the spiritual and economic life of the region throughout the medieval period. The site was dissolved during the Reformation in the sixteenth century, though the church has continued in use as a parish church to the present day, preserving important medieval architecture within its fabric.
