Pershore Abbey Peregrine Watch - LIVE

We are thrilled to announce that the Pershore Abbey Peregrine camera is now LIVE.

This project is the result of many hours hard work by a dedicated team. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our anonymous donor for the camera, Cllr Dan Boatright & Worcestershire County Council for funding for cabling and screen and materials and most of all, Jason Marshall, Christopher Kimberley, Martyn Spence and Judy Dale for all their time and effort spending many man hours working hard to enable us to be able to watch from our devices. These things are not easy when dealing with a Grade I Listed Building but they have managed to pull it off successfully, just in time for the breeding season.

The nesting platform was made and donated by Jason Marshall last year, and erected by Dawson Steeplejacks with funding from the Friends of Pershore Abbey. Necessary permissions were sought and given. This year, fresh gravel was carefully applied (hands free) via a shoot.

All we need now is for Mr & Mrs Peregrine to play their part . If previous years are to go by, they should start mating anytime from now to end of March. Usually this takes place on our overflow spouts.

Happy Viewing!


Midweek Holy Communion

On 3 January we launched a new Midweek Holy Communion service. The services start at 10:00 in the St John Chapel at the Abbey. It is a simple said service followed by refreshments with the chance to sit down and chat to others who have attended the service. If you don’t feel like attending the service please do feel free to come along for refreshments and a chat, which will begin around 10:45 and end at 1130. We look forward to welcoming those who would like a quiet communion service in the week and all those for whom getting to church on a Sunday is difficult.
