Little remains of the 12thc. church, which was rebuilt in 1480-82. The present building comprises a medieval chancel and crossing tower, and a modern W porch on the site of the E bays of the nave; the transepts and the two chapels flanking the choir are in ruins. Romanesque sculpture is found on a respond just outside the modern doorway leading into the porch, on its N side, on a fragment set into the N wall inside the church and on a loose capital on a window ledge. There is also a plain double-handled piscina or stoup inside the church, of uncertain date.

The Benedictine priory of Little Malvern was founded from Worcester, in 1171 (VCH). It was a small monastery, with only some 10 to 12 monks.

The respond could have come from an aisle doorway, and the fragment set into the N wall from a string course.
