Church of the Ascension, Malvern Link

The first completed work by the renowned architect Sir Walter Tapper, this is a Grade II listed church in the parish of Malvern Link and Cowleigh. The church was the gift of Louisa Vavasour Livingstone in memory of her husband Arthur Guinness Livingstone, the former Archdeacon of Sudbury. The founda

tion stone was laid on 19 December 1902, and dedicated by Bishop Charles Gore of Worcester on 3 October 1903. As the church was paid for entirely by Mrs Livingstone, the parish used funds allocated to a planned Mission Hall for Newtown to instead build the hall adjacent to the Church. The grounds have not been consecrated for burial.
