Half-term nearly here #WorcestershireHour so in conjunction with Worcester Heritage Partnership we have themed activities for all the family starting this Wednesday. Details here: tudorhouse.org.uk/event/the-roar…

Get to know more about the Love Worcester Venues and keep an eye out for some little known facts over the next week! For example did you know that The Infirmary Museum 💉 is home to a fascinating (if gory!) collection of death masks of hanged criminals!

#loveworcesterfacts Did you know that the current Worcester Cathedral tower is actually the third one? The first one collapsed in 1175 taking a lot of the Nave with it and the second tower had to be dismantled as it was unsafe. The present tower was completed in 1374.

Among today's Worcester Heritage Partnership events is a chance to find out about the Churches Conservation Trust Worcester St Swithun's project, hosted at St Martin in the Cornmarket. There'll be family activities, poetry & music. bit.ly/2OTs8W0. Read about our archaeologists involvement in the project at explorethepast.co.uk/2019/07/st-swi…
