Col Sir Henry Walton Ellis - Worcester Cathedral
This monument placed by the officers and men of the royal Welch Fusiliers is by John Bacon Jr. It depicts Col Sir Henry Walton Ellis falling from his horse, with Victory crowning him with a Laurel wreath.
Coronation of the Virgin
This scene depicting the Coronation of the Virgin forms part of the Magnificat Window of 1501 in the north transept of Great Malvern Priory and extends across three lights, emphasising both its theological importance and its visual prominence within the wider glazing scheme. The subject, drawn from late medieval Marian devotion, celebrates Mary’s exaltation in heaven following her Assumption, a theme closely aligned with the Magnificat’s emphasis on humility rewarded by divine grace.
Expulsion from Eden
This window in the St Anne Chapel, Malvern Priory, has twelve scenes depicting the Creation story and the Fall. It is dated to between 1440-1450 and was probably the gift of Isabel Despenser and Richard de Beauchamp, 13th earl of Warwick.
The four panels in the bottom register of the window illustrates the expulsion from Eden.
Founder's window
High up in the clerestory of the north wall of the chancel, are a sequence of medieval stained glass panels documenting the legend and founding of the priory at Great Malvern.
George Lyttelton - Worcester Cathedral
This tomb in Worcester Cathedral is of Lord George Lyttelton (d1876) by James Forsyth.
Great Malvern Priory
Great Malvern Priory is a former Benedictine priory church whose architecture, stained glass, and monuments preserve a long and complex record of religious life from the Norman period to the present. Founded in the later eleventh century as a dependent cell of Worcester Cathedral Priory, the site occupies a position of early importance within the Norman monastic expansion in western England.
Great Malvern Priory
A substantial body of medieval stained glass survives at Great Malvern Priory, although its condition and completeness vary considerably from window to window. Several major fifteenth-century windows remain largely intact, most notably the Magnificat Window, the Founder’s Window, and the glazing of the Lady Chapel. Elsewhere, survival is more fragmentary: the great east window, though once a dominant feature of the church, now survives largely in dispersed panels and fragments rather than as a complete scheme.
This fifteenth century stained glass panel depicts William the Conqueror, in 1085, giving a charter to the monk Aldwin. It can be found in the north wall clerestory window of the chancel in Great Malvern Priory.
Isaac, Joseph, and Moses
The western most window in the St Anne Chapel, Malvern Priory, has twelve scenes depicting the Story of Isaac, Joseph, and Moses. It is dated to between 1440-1450 and was probably the gift of Isabel Despenser and Richard de Beauchamp, 13th earl of Warwick.
