Sculpture of King Charles ll set into the facade of Worcester Guildhall. The Guildhall is situated in the City's High Street and was originally built as a meeting place for Worcester merchants around 1227. It became the centre for civic administration, a role it maintained after the merchant guild disappeared. The present Worcester Guildhall is a Queen Anne building, begun in 1722 by Thomas White, a pupil of Sir Christopher Wren. The exterior of the Guildhall is brick, dressed with stone. White himself is said to have carved the figure of Queen Anne over the entry, as well as those of King Charles I and II, a reminder of the city's long history of royal interior is superb, boasting exceptional period decoration.
