Photos of Worcester CathedralOne of the most beautiful of English Cathedrals, Worcester stands close to the banks of the River Severn. Within the chancel is the tomb of king John, but do not miss the beautiful chantry chapel of Arthur, Prince of Wales, the man who should have ruled in place of henry VIII.

The cathedral is set in a lovely location in the centre of the city. Access is easy with nearby paid and free parking. |
A slightly different way to look at the lovely tower. No, it isn't a sudden eclipse, this is the way old selenium toned black and photos would have looked. |
Statues occupy niches outside the south portal |

Beautifully carved, painted tomb, of a style common in the 16th and 17th centuries |
The Moore Monument, early 17th century. The monument does not identify the figures, but they are likely that of John and Anne Moore and their children. |
