==Grounds== The buried foundations of the other monastic buildings, which lie to the southwest of the church, were identified in an archaeological excavation in 1929.<ref>{{NHLE |num=1005303 |desc=Pershore Abbey (site of) |access-date=5 June 2016 |fewer-links=x }}</ref> At the Dissolution, these buildings and the abbey grounds were acquired by John Richardson. The buildings were demolished and the grounds passed through various owners. Abbey House was later built on the site,<ref>Willis-Bund and Page, ''The Victoria History of the County of Worcester'', vol. 4, pp. 155β163.</ref> sometime in the 1830s. In 1910 its owner, Henry Wise, donated the house to the [[Anglican Benedictine]] monks of [[Caldey Abbey]], Pembrokeshire. When these monks converted to Roman Catholicism in 1913, they returned Abbey House to Wise who then provided it for the use of the small remnant of monks from Caldey who had remained Anglican.<ref>Dunstan (2009), p. 22.</ref> In 1922 the monks bought the house.<ref>Dunstan (2009), p. 49.</ref> They left Pershore for [[Nashdom Abbey]], Buckinghamshire, in 1926,<ref>Dunstan (2009), p. 73.</ref> but only sold Abbey House in 1947 when it was demolished and the grounds became housing and parkland.<ref>Dunstan (2009), p. 69.</ref>
