The monks’ stalls have some stunning figures carved into them. Make sure you don’t miss them.

Great Malvern Priory is a great place to visit, it has so much history.
Didn't have much time here and would like to have taken photographs outside but it was teaming down with rain. What an amazing place, rich in history. I light a few candles and bought a few books and cards. Would love to visit this town again.

Amazing place. We went on a Saturday and had a guided tour which was great. Learnt a lot. Would definitely recommend.
Very warm friendly Church, one of the nicest places to sit and listen to music. Great history and quiet grave yard. Wonderful stained glass windows. Staff are amazing, very well worth a visit and a donation for upkeep.
So friendly and welcoming. Beautiful building, lovely people.

Lovely church, well worth a visit. It has unusual external stone work with several different rock types used, in a patchwork effect of varying colours. Interior is equally interesting with some fabulous stained glass windows, including two gorgeous modern examples. The lack of a rood screen means the full sweep of the nave and choir is completely visible.
We were greeted by a very friendly and informative volunteer, who gave us background info and then left us to look around on our own.
There is a war memorial in the south aisle, to the men of Malvern killed in the two World Wars. It has a very unusual but apt and moving inscription.8
The historic church is not only an architectural delight but houses some important and interesting tiles. The earlier original medieval encaustic tiles which initially covered the floors were replaced with the current Minton tiles which are in themselves magnificent examples of Victorian tile making. There is still a large quantity of the medieval encaustic tiles which have now been fixed to a semi circular wall to the rear of the main alter.
There is also a splendid mosaic dado behind the alter.

Lovely church within the Great Malvern Town. It's historic & has wonderful architecture. It's free also and the tourist crowds are absent. Which makes it more of a perfect setting.
