Worcester Cathedral is an Anglican cathedral located in Worcester, England. It serves as the seat of the Bishop of Worcester and is officially called the Cathedral Church of Christ and the Blessed Mary the Virgin of Worcester. The cathedral is situated on a bank that overlooks the River Severn.
The cathedral was built between 1084 and 1504 and encompasses every architectural style in English history, from Norman to Perpendicular Gothic. It is especially known for its Norman crypt and one-of-a-kind chapter house, as well as its uncommon Transitional Gothic bays, stunning woodwork, and “exquisite” central tower, which boasts particularly excellent proportions.
The west facade of the cathedral appeared on the reverse side of £20 notes issued by the Bank of England between 1999 and 2007, remaining in circulation until June 30, 2010.
