St Ann's Well sits on the Malvern Hills above the town of Great Malvern, Worcestershire. The spring there is named after St. Anne and the building which contains it was built in 1814. This is a view looking east from the Malvern Hills towards the northern Cotswolds. Below is Great Malvern Priory which was originally a Benedictine monastery and is now an Anglican church. It has the largest collection of 15th century stained glass in the country.
