This 1969 Malvern Guide was printed by a Gazette Printer
(see back page) and it upholds many of the principles that the term gazette has
come to bestow on these types of printed pamphlet or booklet. Their origin was
based upon the outbreak of a plague in Oxford in 1665. This was to be the
Oxford Gazette which later became the London Gazette. Although the word gazette
came from the Italian word gazetta which was a Venetian news sheet in the
1600s. The term gazettes, in the United Kingdom, has become a very popular name
for many locally produced and distributed printed guides although much of their
original content has now been taken over by newspapers where often the term
gazette is retained in the title masthead although the move to digitisation has
now resulted in the term’s final redundancy.
Look at the history section on the www.thegazette.co.uk/history
website to learn more about gazettes.
In Malvern the Malvern Priory Church is a surprise since it
is a church that was built to Cathedral proportions by the Normans when it was
founded in 1085 as a Benedictine Priory in the time of the Domesday Book.
