The Worcester Guildhall on High Street is one of the finest Queen Anne buildings in England, completed in 1721 and largely unchanged since. The facade is richly decorated with carved stonework; above the main door, statues of Charles I and Charles II flank a carving of Justice, and a carved head of Oliver Cromwell is pinned by its ears above the door — a piece of post-Restoration score-settling still visible to any sharp-eyed passer-by.
Inside, the great hall retains its original proportions and panelling and is used for civic functions and occasional public events. The building served as the centre of Worcester's municipal life for three centuries and gives the best sense of the city's Georgian prosperity. Worth a look from the outside at minimum; the interior is sometimes open for guided tours and during special events.
