The City walls: section extending 280ft (90m) W and SW of Clare Street is a substantial remnant of the medieval defensive fortification that enclosed Worcester. This section of walling, preserved to a considerable length and height, forms part of the circuit constructed during the medieval period to protect the settled and commercial heart of the city. The masonry exhibits characteristics typical of medieval urban fortification, with evidence of substantial stone construction. The survival of this particular stretch, despite the pressures of urban development, represents an important record of Worcester's medieval urban topography and defensive infrastructure.
