Heritage attractions have been warned to watch out for vandals following a rise in graffiti and anti-social behaviour.
Worcestershire sites are no exception, with an alarming rise in such incidents being discovered.
A recent study by Ecclesiastical Insurance revealed a third of heritage organisations have been defaced in the last year.
Faith Kitchen, Ecclesiastical's customer segment director said: "As the UK’s leading insurer of Grade I listed buildings, we’re passionate about protecting Britain’s heritage.
"Our research shows heritage organisations are a prime target for criminals and it is concerning to see that graffiti and anti-social behaviour has increased."
