Priory Church of St Mary and St Michael, Church Street, Malvern - Malvern Hills

Large medieval church of the Benedictine Priory, founded in 1085, it is now a large parish church that dominates the centre of Malvern. It has the largest display of C15 stained glass in England as well as rich furnishings and finishes. Overall in fair condition but there is a major problem with the stained glass which needs urgent repair. Other problems are the high level stonework of the tower and the high level masonry to south windows.The parish are undertaking a pilot project to repair the stained glass and surrounding fabric to inform a major project of repairs and improved facilities.
