Abbey College, Malvern Link
Heritage Assessment
The buildings that currently form Abbey College have a history dating back to the 1840s with Shelsley House. The Abbey itself, was the first building that became a school first in the 1870s.
The school gradually expanded, taking in existing buildings, such as Assarts and Graham House, whilst also constructing new structures such as the Hall and the Chapel. In the 1960s new buildings were constructed that met the requirements of the time but did not meet the interest and architectural importance of the earlier structures.
