Accommodations in Worcester near Worcester Cathedral (Worcester, United Kingdom)
Worcester Cathedral (Worcester, United Kingdom)
Worcester Cathedral sits in the centre of the city of Worcester over-looking the river Severn. It was founded in 680 but nothing remains of the original building and the oldest part now standing is the crypt which dates to the 10th century. Most of the current building is from the 12th and 13th Centuries. The cathedral has the tomb of King John who died in 1216 as well as a memorial to Prince Arthur, the elder brother of Henry VIII and first husband of Henry’s wife Katherine of Aragon. It is believed that the cathedral was spared the worst of Henry’s destruction during the Reformation because of the significance of his brother’s memorial. The cathedral is open all year round and charges no admission fee - although of course donations are encouraged. Tours are available for a small fee. Opening hours are from 7.30 am to 6 pm daily.
