Archive : Worcester & Great Malvern

Worcester, for better or worse, is one of those places in England that are slightly out of the way.

Worcester

The nave Choir screen by Gilbert Scott (Hereford Cathedral had a similar one)
The south aisle The font Pulpit by Gilbert Scott

The tomb of Prince Arthur under an awkward flying rib (perhaps reminding us of the small flaws in the contemporary Henry VII chapel at Westminster) The tomb of Lord Lyttelton The Beauchamp tomb
The Jesus chapel North-east transept North-east transept
The cloister The Norman crypt (in which one of the doors are lined with the skin of a Dane) Inside the tower
