Conversion

King Charles is believed to have fled from this house after defeat at the Battle of Worcester in 1651, the final battle of the English Civil War. The residents held off Cromwell's army so that he could make his escape. A black and white, timbered building in the heart of the city, it has a stunning interior on two floors featuring oak-clad walls, fireplaces and even a dungeon. It is Grade II*-listed. The building has had various uses over the years, including as a judge's residence, a furniture-makers, an antiques shop and a restaurant. It still serves meals, as well as real ales and ciders.
