St Matthias Church Viewed from the end of the cul-de-sac of Hampden Road giving an excellent view of the tower.
The original church to seat 300 people cost £1900 and was consecrated on 13th January 1846.
Malvern was rapidly expanding at this time and, despite the church being extended in 1858, it was decided to almost rebuild it in the 1880s.
The new church, without a tower, cost £3200 and was completed in 1881.
The tower was added in 1889.
