It is open to everyone and will begin at 7pm at St Peter’s Baptist Church, Eden Close, Worcester WR5 3TZ this Thursday (March 15).
There is ample free parking in the church car park.
The talk will include details about the structure of the cathedral, its chapter house, cloisters and many stained glass windows.

These include King John who worshipped there, Prince Arthur (Henry VIII’s older brother and husband of Katherine of Aragon), the Duke of Hamilton, Edward Elgar and the Reverend Geoffrey Anketell Kennedy, also known as Woodbine Willy.
