Description

This is the Cornmarket building in Worcester. It was here that after King Charles II entered King Charles House on New Street, he escaped round the back from here from this half-timbered building on the corner of Cornmarket.

This is a Grade II* listed building. Built at the same time as King Charles House (29 New Street / 5 Cornmarket). Originally it would have been linked to 29 New Street with the same original timber-framed building, but the corner was replaced in the late 18th century, by the houses and shops here today. 30 New Street is now shops and offices (above the shop).

It was built for Richard Durant and William Blagden. It is a two storey building. It may have had three storeys according to a 1799 engraving by James Ross. It was envisioned as an L shaped building, following the angle of the road. A fire in the 1790s partially destroyed the timber-framed building and caused rebuilding.

Charles II may have escaped from here when he lost the Battle of Worcester.

The building was given a City of Worcester Award in 1991.

This is a photo of listed building number 1389751.
