Pershore Abbey
Pershore Abbey Church is all that remains of the once magnificent abbey that was destroyed shortly after 1539 during the Protestant Reformation. It was one of the final monasteries to be dissolved by King Henry VIII. Much of the stonework was dismantled and used in various building projects around the region. What is left is about only half of the original medieval church and a fraction of the total abbey. Pershore Abbey Church, made of golden coloured stone, now sits surrounded by green parkland and in the sunshine it glows with a radiance that hints at how exceptional the full abbey must have been.
