Little Malvern Priory
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Little Malvern Priory, in Malvern, Worcestershire, was a Benedictine monastery c.1171-1537. Little remains of the 12th c. church, which was rebuilt in 1480-82. The site is now occupied by house named Little Malvern Court, which has limited public opening. The present building comprises a medieval chancel and crossing tower, and a modern west porch on the site of the east bays of the nave. The transepts and the two chapels flanking the choir are in ruins. The Little Malvern Priory church is adjacent.
Noted singer Jenny Lind lived at Wynd's Point, behind the priory, during her last years.
