Welcome

Worcester Cathedral is a magnificent sight as it rises majestically above the River Severn. Worcester has been the seat of a bishopric since the Seventh Century, and the Cathedral was served by monks until the Reformation. St Oswald and St Wulfstan were among the bishops. Since the Eighteenth Century, the Cathedral has been famous for its part in the annual Three Choirs Festival, the oldest choral festival in existence. Today the Cathedral is the centre of a vibrant community of clergy and laypeople, offering the praises of God each day, serving the city and diocese of Worcester, and attracting visitors from all over the world.

Peter Atkinson, Dean

The Dean and Chapter of Worcester Cathedral are deeply shocked and saddened to learn of the sudden death of the Head of The King's School, Matthew Armstrong. Matthew has not only been an outstanding Head, but he and Kate have been active members of the Cathedral community and strongly supportive of the Cathedral Choir. Matthew served as a member of the Cathedral Council. Our thoughts and prayers are with Kate, with Matthew's family, and with the whole School community at this sad and difficult time.
