For 1400 years Worcester in the English Midlands has played a unique part in the history of our Island and the world beyond.

 

At a vital bridging point over the River Severn and watched over by its beautiful cathedral, Worcester has witnessed the comings and goings of monarchs and regicides: saints and sinners; scholars and charlatans as well as warriors and composers.

 

In Worcester Moments: River, Religion and Royalty author and historian Andrew Reekes, once a pupil at King's School, explores this enthralling story through the prism of 20 episodes in the vibrant life of the city and its people.
