A NEW guidebook about  Malvern Priory has been published, shedding light on some of the finest medieval stained glass in England. 

The Friends of Malvern Priory have announced the arrival of a new Priory Guidebook – “A Tour of Great Malvern Priory” by local expert, Katherine Little.

Anne Eglington, chairman of The Friends of Malvern Priory, said: "Katherine’s knowledge and love of the Priory building is outstanding. She is well-known for her interest in the Priory’s medieval-stained glass.

"The new guidebook has expanded sections on the Priory’s stained glass, medieval tiles, misericords and the exterior of the building with new stunning photos in a larger format than previously. It also includes updates on the conservation work done since the 2016 edition ie. the North Porch and the Creation Window."

The Guidebook costs £5 and all the profits go towards the work and ministry of the Priory church. It is available from the Friends’ Priory Shop, which also sells a wide selection of cards and gifts.
