Built between 1711 and 1725 by Thomas Archer, this cathedral has an austere façade enriched by the exuberance of the Western tower (concave and crowned with a dome and lantern) and Western door (fantasy Baroque door mixing a variety of styles). On the inside, huge stained-glass windows by Burne-Jones depict the birth of Christ, the Crucifixion, the Ascension and the Last Judgement.

Originally St Wulstan's Hospital (11C), the Commandery dates mainly back to the early 16C and was the headquarters of Charles II during the Battle of Worcester (1651). Today, it houses a museum devoted to the king.

The late 13C building with large-scale Decorated and Perpendicular additions was destroyed in 1940. All that remains are the walls, crypt, tower and the 90 m spire, one of the architectural glories of England, exceeded in height only by Norwich and Salisbury. The east end is marked by a simple cross of burned timbers, erected by an anonymous fireman using two roof beams when the fire was finally extinguished.

Founded in 1751, the works owed their success to the use of Cornwall steatite to imitate China porcelain, as well as their ability to change with fashion (China, classic, romantic).
