Great Malvern Priory Church is a parish church dedicated to St Mary and St Michael. It was founded as a Benedictine Priory in 1085. Over the centuries the Priory has been developed from its original Norman style (of which the Nave pillars are an impressive reminder) to include Perpendicular Gothic style which was added in the 15th Century. With the Reformation came the destruction of the Lady Chapel at the east end of the south transept. In 1541 under the Dissolution of the Monastries, the Priory was saved when local people purchased the church for £20.
The Priory has a fine collection of medieval stained galass including a magnificent window donated by King Henry VII in the 15th Century. Medieval wall tiles with over 90 designs manufactured locally. Millennium windows by Tom Denny 2004, misericords carved in the 14th and 15th Centuries. The Organ remodelled by Rushworth and Dreaper in 1927 has now been refurbished by Nicholsons of Malvern in 2004.
