WORCESTER CATHEDRAL.
This cathedral, stately and graceful though not large, presents a variety of styles with a remarkable unity of general design. The city has had a bishopric since the earliest Christian times, and parts of Wulfstan's building commenced in 1084 remain to this day. The figure of King John, who lies before the altar, is believed to be the oldest regal effigy in England. 1h west front overlooks the Severn, and the tower is a prominent object for many miles. The old doors, preserved in the crypt, have upon them fragments of human skin, as on the doors of a few other ecclesiastical buildings, probably telling of terrible retribution for some sacrilege. Worcester Castle has been swept entirely away. St. Andrew's Church is conspicuous for its elegant and lofty spire. The Guildhall is a massive Queen Anne building.
