The 150th Anniversary of St Leonard’s Church and the Beauchamp Almshouses in Newland, Malvern is drawing to a close. After a magnificent Fireworks Display in the grounds on Monday which set the sky ablaze with a kaleidoscope of colours and patterns, the final event will be this Sunday, October 12 at 4.30pm, when the world-famous choir of Hereford Cathedral will sing Festal Choral Evensong in the Church to conclude our celebrations. We are thrilled and honoured that the choir is bringing our celebrations to a fitting conclusion and we extend an invitation to everyone to join us for this feast of music and worship. A reception will follow in the Grand Hall after the service.
