St Swithuns Church, Worcester

Looking west towards the restored organ, box pews are plentiful, indicating that this was once a well-used church

A short visit to St Swithuns, Worcester, a Georgian church which finds itself in a rather cramped situation, squeezed in amongst the commercial property in the heart of the city. Easily overlooked, it opens occasionally for visitors, and is administered by the Churches Conservation Trust. In many ways it resembles that of Great Witley, though nowhere near as exuberant and decorative, but nevertheless well worth a visit, especially to see the magnificent three-decker pulpit which dominates the interior. The tower is representative of the church's medieval origins.
