AN old prep school in Malvern Wells was to get a new lease of life, according to the Malvern Gazette 25 years ago.
The old Abbey Preparatory School, in Hanley Road, had been empty for the past two years, since the Abbey School governors had transferred it to the main campus on Wells Road.
Dr David Bryer, Oxfam's field director in the Middle East, wanted to use building as the Malvern School of English, catering for overseas students wanting to learn the language.
"I've always thought Malvern would be an ideal place for such a school," he said. "We'll cater for serious students - post-graduates going to British universities, businessmen, interpreters - who want to see English provincial life at its best."
