List of people connected with Malvern, Worcestershire

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

List of people connected with Malvern, Worcestershire includes, in addition to those born in Malvern, the many notable people who came to the town to provide or partake of its hydrotherapy, to be educated or to teach at the large number of independent boarding schools such as Malvern College with its long list of notable alumni, and its elementary school, The Downs, and Malvern St James for girls, that still remain active into the 21st century.

A significant number of people were scientists at the Telecommunications Research Establishment, and its successor the Royal Radar Establishment, the country's largest secret defence research facility with around 4,000 civil servants and military personnel, and the quango it became (as of 2011), QinetiQ.[1]

The Malvern Hills, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, have also inspired several poets and novelists.[2][3]
