The Commandery Civil War Centre, WorcesterThe Commandery is located to the south-east of Worcester Cathedral, beside Sidbury Lock on the River Severn. The building that houses The Commandery is a delightful half-timbered Tudor house that was used by Charles II as his headquarters for the Battle of Worcester in 1651. The battle was the final conflict in the long English Civil War, and the defeat of Charles' forces essentially sealed Parliament's victory in the war. The Commandery reopened in 2007 following an extensive refurbishment, with vivid reconstructions of six selected periods of the city's history. CONTACT
