The Story of Worcester

Více o knize

Here are gathered many tales of the city and its inhabitants over the centuries: events and personalities from visiting monarchs to food riots, from a friar who was found up to no good in the Cardinal's Hat, to crowds flocking to see an amazing learned dog who could 'read, write and keep accounts'. This is history brought to life through the words and deeds of those long gone, and provides an inspiration to look for the past in Worcester's ancient street names, its mediaeval and later buildings, and even in its parks and open spaces.
