Great Malvern Priory, which occupies a prominent position on the south side of Church Street, was built as a monastery circa 1058 AD. Following the dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII, the present building was acquired by the townspeople about 1540 and became the parish church of Great Malvern, replacing the old church of St Thomas which stood on the site of the present Post Office.
Within the church there are a few burials in vaults, a practice that ceased about 1851, and there is a war memorial remembering parishioners and their sons who fell in two World Wars. The churchyard, mostly on the north side was closed to burials about 1920.
