Malvern,
Worcestershire
A historic house created from the former Prior's Hall of medieval Little Malvern Priory. The priory was formed in 1171 and was disbanded by Henry VIII in 1537. After the Dissolution the property came into the possession of the Russell family of nearby Strensham, and later passed to the Beringtons, who still own the Court today. The new owners converted the hall and associated monastic buildings into a private dwelling. The house stands in 10 acres of attractive gardens formed from the grounds of the Benedictine monastery.
