EDITORS COMMENTS
Great Malvern Priory, a prominent landmark in the historic town of Great Malvern in Worcestershire, England, is beautifully depicted in this 1730 line coloured engraving by Joseph Dougharty. The Northern view of the church showcases the grandeur and intricacy of this Georgian priory, which was founded in the 11th century and has since undergone numerous transformations. The engraving reveals the impressive architectural features of the priory, including its tall, pointed Gothic arches, intricate stone carvings, and the distinctive bell tower that dominates the skyline. The surrounding landscape is dotted with trees and rolling hills, adding to the picturesque scene. Great Malvern Priory was originally a Benedictine monastery, but was dissolved during the Reformation in the 16th century. The church was later restored and reopened for worship in the 17th century. Today, it is an active Anglican parish church and a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors from around the world who are drawn to its rich history and architectural beauty. The engraving, part of the Mayson Beeton Collection in the Historic England Photo Library, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when Great Malvern Priory was a hub of religious and cultural activity. It serves as a reminder of the enduring significance of this historic site and the importance of preserving our heritage for future generations.
