The Worcester Commandery

Worcester

History

The Worcester Commandery was the home to the Duke of Hamilton (the Commander of the King's forces) for a short while during the Battle of Worcester. He was taken there with a leg injury. Unfortunately for him, he died from his wounds. It is said he was then buried under the floorboards for some time before he was removed and entombed in Worcester Cathedral.

Paranormal Activity

Some years ago a local man arrived early for a meeting in the Solar part of the Commandery. After some minutes he left in terror not able to explain what he had experienced and vowed never to go into the room again. To this day it is not known what he saw. Other visitors to the Solar room have also felt a strange coldness and an overpowering presence, which remains unexplained. Some say it is the Duke of Hamilton in the throes of his agony.
