Worcester, Old House In The Corn Market c.1890

More about this scene
A carved inscription above the left-hand lower window reads 'Love God WB 1577 RD Honor Kinge'. Since the photograph was taken an inscription has been painted above the right-hand window, reading 'Ye Olde Kinge Charles House'. This has led many to believe that this is the house from which Charles II so famously escaped after the Battle of Worcester, running out of the back door as his pursuers came in at the front. However, that King Charles House is round the corner on New Street. But it does bear the same date - 1577 - so perhaps both were part of the same building.
