Malvern has a population of around 30,00 and is a historic conservation area where archaeologist believe Bronze Age settlers lived in around 1000bc.
A priory was established by Benedictine monks at the foot of the highest peak of Malvern Hills in the 11th century – which lead to the establishment of Malvern.
