The City of Worcester has a cathedral, the exterior view of which is one of England's best. The building itself goes back to Saxon times although the early Norman Crypt is the earliest style to be seen ther now. The Chapter House is particularly impressive and the shrine of one of England's kings is to be found there. [King John]

The city is also famous to collectors of porcelain for the Royal Worcester Factory, which can be visited.

Worcester is near to the Malvern Hills where it's difficult to avoid expecting to meet Elgar!
