Rule of law to Civil War
The journey toward democracy in Britain began in 1215, when King John sealed the Magna Carta.

History is never far away in Worcester.
Walk through the city centre and centuries of architecture sit side by side. Around the Cathedral Quarter, historic streets lead towards some of Worcester’s best-known heritage attractions.
At The Commandery, discover Worcester’s pivotal place in the English Civil War. The building is best known as the Royalist headquarters during the Battle of Worcester in 1651, the decisive battle of the conflict. Today you can explore Worcester’s Civil War Story, Tudor rooms, its medieval Great Hall, Painted Chamber and walled gardens.
Nearby, the Museum of Royal Worcester tells another distinctive Worcester story. Located on the former Worcester porcelain factory site, its collection traces 250 years of porcelain-making in the city and is described by Visit Worcestershire as the world’s largest collection of Worcester porcelain.
There’s more to explore at Tudor House Museum, The Guildhall and Worcester City Art Gallery and Museum, making it easy to build a full day of sightseeing without travelling far across the city.
