Worcester Cathedral has been described as possibly the most interesting of all England's cathedrals, especially architecturally. Saint Oswald then built another cathedral in 983, and established a monastery attached to it. Saint Wulfstan began the present building in 1084 replacing the earlier cathedrals. The Cathedral's attractions include King John's Tomb, Prince Arthur's Chantry, the early 12th Century Chapter House, St Wulfstan's Crypt, medieval cloisters and magnificent Victorian stained glass. There are spectacular views from the top of the Cathedral tower, for opening times see the Cathedral website...................................................................................

Admission is free. For our service times please visit the Cathedral website. The Holy Eucharist is live-streamed each day on this page at 8am.
