Malvern Priory £1.00 Magazine JUNE 2021 ISSUE The Parish Church of St. Mary & St. Michael WHY NO LADY CHAPEL? In 1539 the Priory suffered the fate of the great majority of monasteries in England when Henry VIII ordered their surrender and dissolution. The monastic buildings marked for survival at Malvern included the gatehouse, Prior’s house, and guesthouse. Everything else was to be destroyed; and the work of demolition was begun on the Lady Chapel and the south transept. Fortunately, however, at this juncture the people of Malvern, headed by one John Pope, stepped forward and purchased the Church from the Crown to replace their own 13th century small parish Church which was on the site of the present Post Office. The Church was saved from destruction but all the documents and records of the monastery were either lost or destroyed. Except for the disappearance of the Lady Chapel and the South Transept, the Church remains today practically as the 15th century builders left it. But of the monastic buildings, none but the gatehouse, much restored, remains. Whether the Priory is seen from far or near, the eye is at once arrested On either side of the eastern entrance steps can be by the great central tower, which combines so seen a part of the vaulting of the 12th century crypt, wonderfully the impression of massive strength with over which the Lady Chapel stood; and above the lines of decorative beauty and charm. Its design vaulting, a narrow piece of the tiled floor of the Lady closely resembles that of the tower of Gloucester Chapel itself. On the left side is the blocked doorway Cathedral, and in all probability the Gloucester at the foot of the stairway which led to the crypt masons were also responsible for the building of the from St Anne’s Chapel.

THOUGHT FOR THE MONTH HOPE At this time, it is worth repeating Genesis 1 verses 29–31. God said, ‘See I have given you every plant As I am from a farming background, I have always yielding seed that is upon the face of the earth, and appreciated nature/creation, even when the rain every tree with seed in its fruit: you shall have them doesn’t stop for days and days, and the crops in for food.

By comparing almost , ordination records collected from registers from Worcester and neighbouring dioceses with ‘conven- tual’ lists, it is concluded that over per cent of monks and canons are not named in the extant ordination lists. Over half of these omissions are arguably due to structural gaps in the surviving ordination lists, but other, non-structural factors may also have contributed. ith the dispersal and destruction of the archives of religious houses following their dissolution in the late s, many docu- W ments that would otherwise facilitate the prosopographical study of the monastic orders in late medieval England and Wales have been irre- trievably lost.

Great Malvern is largely Victorian but its roots go back much further: Iron and Bronze Age forts and tracks ran along the hills and Great Malvern was only a collection of small cottages until the Middle Ages. The oldest parts of the town can be seen around the Priory Church which was founded in 1085 when Benedictine monks settled here and built a Priory, which was a daughter house to Westminster Abbey. Great Malvern originated as a spa village with therapeutic qualities attributed to its springs. It was the Georgian fancy of taking the waters and later the Victorian popularity of the water cure that transformed Malvern into a Spa town. Doctors Gully and Wilson brought hydropathy – the water cure – from Austria and built the first water cure house in 1845. The growing influx of visitors necessitated accommodation, information and social recreation to rival such centres as Bath and Cheltenham. Although Malvern is no longer a Spa town many of the impressive buildings used for the water cure are still in use as public buildings. 2 The popularity of Great Malvern continued to grow even when the water cure had declined. The 20th century saw the start of Festivals held at the Winter Gardens celebrating the works of Sir Edward Elgar and George Bernard Shaw in Malvern. Today there is a new theatre complex on the site of the old Winter Gardens.

    The Hammer-Beam Roof: Tradition, Innovation and the Carpenter’s Art in Late Medieval England Robert Beech A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Art History, Film and Visual Studies College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 2014 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT This thesis is about late medieval carpenters, their techniques and their art, and about the structure that became the fusion of their technical virtuosity and artistic creativity: the hammer-beam roof. The structural nature and origin of the hammer-beam roof is discussed, and it is argued that, although invented in the late thirteenth century, during the fourteenth century the hammer-beam roof became a developmental dead-end. In the early fifteenth century the hammer-beam roof suddenly blossomed into hundreds of structures of great technical proficiency and aesthetic acumen. The thesis assesses the role of the hammer-beam roof of Westminster Hall as the catalyst to such renewed enthusiasm. This structure is analysed and discussed in detail.

Small, however, as it is, the task of gathering material for it has been not light. The historical chapter, in particular, necessitated much research. Of guide-books to Malvern and its church there are many, but they show that characteristic weakness of their tribe — a readiness to make dubious historical statements upon no real authority, and a tendency to repeat, without inquiry, each other's inaccuracies. I cannot hope that my historical chapter is free from errors, but I trust that, being equipped with references, it may prove of service to later students travelling along the same road. Most valuable assistance has been given me from many quarters. I am indebted to, among others. Dr. M. R. James, Mr. G. McN. Rushforth (who is preparing, I am glad to know, a monograph on the Priory's ancient glass).
