Repair plan for historic 'Pepperpot' landmark

'STRUCTURALLY UNSTABLE' 14TH CENTURY BUILDING WAS ONCE PART OF A CHURCH

- STAFF REPORTER

The historic Pepperpot, in Upton-upon-Severn, dates back to the 14th century

A MIDLAND town’s most ancient standing structure is set for a revamp.

The historic Pepperpot in Upton Upon Severn dates back to the 14th century and is due for several repairs, including a new entrance ramp.

Once part of a church, it now houses the Upton upon Severn Heritage Centre.

Malvern Hills District Council has identified several issues, such as a “structurally unstable” nave wall, loose bricks in a boundary wall, and subsidence and trip hazards in the external paving.
