The Commandery, Local authority museum in Worcester, England
The Commandery features original medieval chambers, Tudor wood-paneled rooms, a Great Hall, and historical displays spread across multiple floors.
During the Battle of Worcester in 1651, The Commandery served as the headquarters for King Charles II and his Royalist forces.
The museum presents regular exhibitions about local history, military artifacts, and interactive displays that tell the story of Worcester through centuries.
Visitors can access The Commandery Tuesday through Sunday, with guided tours available and a canal-side café offering refreshments throughout the day.
