VISITORS to Abbey Park in Pershore can now travel back to the early 1500s and imagine the Abbey as it once stood thanks to a striking new interpretation board.
When lined up with the surviving structure, the outline reveals the full scale of Pershore Abbey at its most impressive, with towering walls, sweeping roofs and the grandeur of a building that dominated the landscape for centuries.
This immersive feature transforms a stroll through Abbey Park into a moment of historical discovery long before the Dissolution of the Monasteries, helping to reconnect with a chapter of Pershore’s story that has been hidden in plain sight.
Councillor Richard Morris, leader of Wychavon District Council, said: “This is a brilliant example of how a simple idea can have a big impact.
“The board brings our heritage to life in a way that’s both educational and inspiring.
“I’m proud that we’ve been able to support it through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, and I hope it sparks curiosity and pride in Pershore’s rich history.”
The board funded through Wychavon District Council’s share of the Government’s UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
