The Beauchamp Community is an Anglo Catholic intentional community in the Newland district of Malvern, Worcestershire. It was originally created for retired workers from nearby Madresfield Estate and for the poor of the parish.

It isn't clear if the founders were Anglican Papalists but they are described as being influenced by the Oxford Movement, which emphasised the Catholic origins of the Church of England. The daily services in the community's beautifully decorated private chapel of St Leonard's follow the Anglo Catholic tradition.

The alms houses in the background of the picture, with their 'barley-twist' chimneys, are where some of the community members live.
