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.
