Malvern

GREAT, one of the most fashionable watering-places in England, on the E. side of the Malvern Hills, at the foot of the Worcestershire Beacon, from the summit of which (1,444 feet above the sea-level) extensive views are obtained. It is irregularly laid out, and has a fine cruciform church, with a square embattled tower 124 feet high rising from the center, rebuilt in the reign of Henry VII., and restored in 1860-1861. On the outskirts is Malvern College. Madame Goldschmidt (Jennie Lind) resided near Malvern many years previous to her death. Pop. about 17,000.
