Tudor House

Standing in the most historic street of Worcester, England, is a wonderful building of timber beams, leaded windows, decorated plaster ceilings and walls made of horsehair and mud. It's free to go in, and no-one expects you to buy anything. Inside you will find rooms five hundred years old, not crowded with furniture but open for you to see. A few choice exhibits (most of which you can touch as well as look at) are complemented by fascinating interpretations of the history of this ancient city. It's run entirely by volunteers, but it's definitely not amateur, helped along by some of the city's best guides, artists, historians and craftspeople giving up their time for the pleasure of working in a special place.

Pay us a visit next time you are in Worcester on a Wednesday or a Saturday. We'll have the kettle on ready.
