Historic Building sights in Worcester

  1. Ancient Houses

    Saved in the nick of time by the National Trust, Greyfriars offers the chance to poke around a timber-framed merchant's house from 1480. The house is full of atmospheric wood-panelled rooms and backed by a pretty walled garden.

    A few doors down, the mid-16th-century Tudor House is wonderfully warped; inside is a heritage centre run by local volunteers.

    Also peek into the flamboyant Guildhall, created in 1722 by a pupil of Sir Christopher Wren who died in poverty while waiting for the city to pay him his dues.
