Built in 1862, our church is located on the eastern slopes of the Malvern Hill, many visitors come to our cemetery to pay their respects to Sir Edward Elgar who is buried there with other members of his family.
Little Malvern, Worcestershire
A quarter of a mile away is Little Malvern Court, originally a Benedictine monastery with its adjacent Priory Church, reduced at the Reformation to the chancel and tower of the original building which now form the local Anglican parish church.
Little Malvern Court was in Catholic Recusant ownership until the 20th century, had a priest's hole during penal times and later a chapel for local Catholics. By the middle of the 19th century this was becoming too small for the local Catholic congregation and so, in 1862, a new church, St Wulstan’s, was built nearby. It is probable that the Catholic Mass has been celebrated at Little Malvern every Sunday since the Reformation.
The main church was built in 1862 with the Baptistery being added some years later. The land was made available by the Berington family of Little Malvern Court. In the original design there was the intention to have an apse behind the main altar but this was never built as there would not have been enough support for the foundations needed.

Cyrhaeddir yr eglwys hon trwy deithio naill ai ar hyd lonydd troellog sy’n gyforiog o flodau, neu ar hyd llwybr troed. Wrth gyrraedd, fe welwch yr eglwys ganoloesol hon yn sefyll ar lethrau’r Grwyne Fawr, yn edrych heibio cwm bychan at lethrau Mynydd Pen-y-Fâl yr ochr draw.
Capel y Ffin, Powys
Lleolir eglwys Sant Mair, Capel y Ffin yn nyffryn cudd yr afon Honddu, gyda’r Mynyddoedd Du i’r gorllewin iddi a Chlawdd Offa i’r dwyrain. Mae’n fan lle mae celfyddyd a thirwedd yn ymdoddi i’w gilydd – ac nid yw’n syndod felly iddi ddenu arlunwyr a beirdd am ganrifoedd.
Hen Faesyfed, Powys
Er iddi gael ei llosgi yn ystod Gwrthryfel Glyndŵr yn 1401, mae gan Eglwys Sant Steffan hanes cystal ag unrhyw gastell, gyda chroglen ganoloesol brin ac organ a all fod yr hynaf yn y DU.
