Pershore Abbey

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

Pershore Abbey was one of the largest abbeys in Britain, larger even than Worcester Cathedral. The abbey was destroyed in the Reformation, but the local inhabitants saved the church from destruction by purchasing it for their own use. The striking lantern tower dates from 1350, while in the interior the round font is beautifully carved, and the interior as a whole boasts superb vaulting joined by carved bosses featuring beasts, leaf and foliate head patterns.
