Worcester Cathedral - V

St. George's chapel is filled with old military flags to honor the country's fallen.

Worcester Cathedral - IV

Amidst the scaffolding of the repair and reconstruction is the tomb of King John. He was a strong and successful king of England and it was his efforts that shaped the country to become what it is. However, his last decade or so was not so successful and he really was gouging the barons and earls for money constantly. Hence, in 1215, he was forced to sign the Magna Carta. He died in 1216.

Worcester Cathedral - III

The cloister garden is a very pleasant place to meditate. I suppose that was the original purpose, after all. It is also a dandy place to see the tower and structure of the building.

This cathedral is certainly a big place. Looking along the ceiling, it seems to recede into the distance without end.

In downtown Worcester we visited the Cathedral. Like all the other Anglican churches at the time of our visit, there were memorials out front for the Queen.
