FREE ADMISSION


Tudor House has had a varied life in the five centuries since it was built. It has been used as a work place for weavers, clothiers, tailors, bakers, painters, brewers and was used as lodgings, the Cross Keys Inn, a tearoom and restaurant, a WW2 air raid wardens' post and billet office, a school clinic and a museum.
A group of volunteers known as Worcester Heritage & Amenity Trust opened the doors in May 2004 to keep the building available to the public as Tudor House Heritage & Education Centre. Displays of local history, crafts and culture over several rooms are complemented by a shop and coffee room serving drinks and cakes.

Tudor House

Standing in the most historic street of Worcester, England, is a wonderful building of timber beams, leaded windows, decorated plaster ceilings and walls made of horsehair and mud. It's free to go in, and no-one expects you to buy anything. Inside you will find rooms five hundred years old, not crowded with furniture but open for you to see. A few choice exhibits (most of which you can touch as well as look at) are complemented by fascinating interpretations of the history of this ancient city. It's run entirely by volunteers, but it's definitely not amateur, helped along by some of the city's best guides, artists, historians and craftspeople giving up their time for the pleasure of working in a special place.

Pay us a visit next time you are in Worcester on a Wednesday or a Saturday. We'll have the kettle on ready.
