Family Graffiti Activity

In this workshop we will learn about the marks left by the stonemasons who built the Cathedral and search to identify images and inscriptions made by those who worshipped and visited here throughout history. There will also be the opportunity to create your very own masons mark to take home.
The Cathedral’s Historic Graffiti holds witness to the changing nature of belief, practice, and worship over the past centuries and reveals the personalities, thoughts, and fears of those who visited before you.
Worcester Cathedral is one of England's loveliest cathedrals. It stands majestically overlooking the River Severn, close to the city centre. It has been a place of prayer and worship for fourteen centuries. The Cathedral's attractions include royal tombs, Norman Crypt, medieval cloisters, magnificent Victorian stained glass and examples of every period of early English architecture from 11th to late 14th Century.
