Pershore Abbey is a Benedictine monastery founded in the tenth century in Worcestershire, with origins possibly extending to the eighth century. The abbey was established as a daughter house of Osney and developed into a significant religious community, becoming one of the principal Benedictine houses in the Midlands. The surviving remains include the abbey church's choir and transepts, which date largely from the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries and represent later medieval architectural developments. Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the sixteenth century, the church was considerably reduced in scale, though the remaining structure continues to serve as the parish church and preserves important examples of Gothic architectural detail from the High and Late Medieval periods.
