City walls: section extending 280ft (90m) W and SW of Clare Street is a substantial segment of the medieval defensive fortifications of Worcester. The surviving masonry represents part of the walled circuit that enclosed the Saxon and medieval city, with the preserved section running westward and southwestward from Clare Street. The walls are constructed of stone and represent the civic investment in urban defence characteristic of the High and Late Medieval periods. This segment remains among the most significant surviving examples of Worcester's historic defences and contributes substantially to understanding the physical layout and protected extent of the medieval city.
