Worcester Cathedral was built between the years 1084 and 1504 in every style of English architecture, ranging from Norman to Gothic Revival. Located on a bank overlooking the River Severn, Worcester cathedral had originally been a priory founded in 680. The English composer Edward Elgar spent a lot of time in Worcestershire, and his revised version of Enigma Variations was first performed at the cathedral in 1899. The cathedral's west facade appeared on the reverse of the £20 note between 1999 and 2007 along with a portrait of Edward Elgar.
Although the Cathedral now has very little medieval glass, the impact of its windows on the eve of the Reformation must have very impressive. Despite bemoaning such losses, there is much good nineteenth-century glass in the Cathedral for visitors to see including work by Hardmans, Lavers & Barraud, William Wailes, Burlison & Grylls and Clayton & Bell.

I often enter old passages and building entrances, since sometimes I get lucky and stumble upon interesting details for new photographs. This is a building entrance ceiling, in a building just few meters from Terazije square. Today they make 'em flat.
