Counted with England’s most beautiful cathedrals, Worcester Cathedral was rebuilt in the 11th century and work would last until the start of the 16th century. This has left the building with every English Medieval architectural style from Norman Romanesque to the sublime Perpendicular Gothic tower. The oldest portion is the Norman crypt, from the e...
Straddling the Barbourne Brook, which feeds the River Severn on the parks western cusp, Gheluvelt Park is a memorial park in honour of Worcester’s First World War dead. The name comes from the Battle of Gheluvelt in 1914, in which the Worcestershire Regiment’s 2nd Battalion was deployed. On the duck pond, surrounded by willows and firs is the bands...
A National Trust property since 1966, the Grade I Greyfriars’ House is named for a defunct Franciscan priory that used to be nearby. This cantilevered half-timbered house went up in 1485 and, rather than being attached to the priory as had once been thought, it was built for the High Bailiff of Worcester and incorporated a brewhouse. The height of ...
You can set foot in another enthralling half-timbered house on Friar Street, at the free Tudor House Museum. This 16th century dwelling started out as a compound of weaver’s cottages. In the 1700s the building hosted the disreputable Cross Key tavern, and then was a Victorian coffee house owned by Richard Cadbury, founder of the world-renowned choc...
The largest collection of Royal Worcester porcelain in the world is on show at the factory’s former building on Severn Street. The soft paste porcelain brand was born in 1751 when William Davis the elder, an apothecary, first devised his recipe. In Georgian times there was a lot of money to be made reproducing shapes and patterns from Chinese porce...
The city hall is withdrawn from the High Street’s western frontage, which gives you a chance to stand back and admire its facade. The building dates to 1721 and is in the Classical Queen Anne style, with a curved pediment and Corinthian pilasters framing a grand, pedimented doorway and a statue of Queen Anne in a niche. You may find yourself pausin...
East of the city centre is a 110-acre park mostly taken up by ancient woodland. The country park is very popular in summer as a low-cost day out just off the M5 motorway. There are two circular waymarked trails through the woods and out into a large meadow embroidered with wildflowers in early summer. The Countryside Centre here has a great adventu...
Worcester’s city museum is an Elizabethan revival building from 1896, and mixes 19th and 20th-century art with exhibits shedding light on local human and natural history. Two artists well-represented in the permanent displays are Worcester-born landscape painters Henry Harris Lines and Benjamin Williams Leader. The museum’s galleries are very eclec...
Dating back around 800 years, the half-timbered Commandery is a Grade I listed monument built as an almshouse by the Knights Hospitaller or Order of St John of Jerusalem. The almshouse granted “corrodies” (shelter and sustenance in exchange for property), and the Commandery’s masters became rich through these one-sided agreements. Later, in the Eng...
This beautiful Georgian building a few steps from the City Art Gallery and Museum was the Worcester Royal Infirmary from 1771 to 2002. Some landmarks in British medical history took place here, like in 1832, when the future British Medical Association met at the building for the first time. In 2012 the Infirmary reopened as a museum run by Worceste...
