This view of Little Malvern Priory is one that I've seen several times as I've driven along the road from Welland. The tall tower and the short nave (formerly the choir), are a somewhat ungainly pairing. They are a consequence of a large part of the original Benedictine Monastery having been pulled down during the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the sixteenth century. The building now serves as a parish church and graces this position where the steep, wild slopes of the Malvern Hills become gentler, agricultural land.
