A lovely little museum, but I was quite put off by the greeter. As I approached the entrance, a very large mentally challenged young man came rushing at me in a loud and aggressive way, literally shouting at me. Although the words he used were welcoming, he was not smiling and his manner was very frightening. I put my hands up in a defensive way as he got way too close to me and he reached out and grabbed my right hand as to shake it.

There's no need to scream at me, I told him. He went through his routine (starting over again) and I went through the first two rooms of the museum. As I came back through to go to the other side, he stopped me and remarked on my clothing that revealed me to be an American.

The roads are fine for the buggies and wheelchairs. There's plenty of things to see and places to eat. It's a lovely little town with some lovely shops including an old fashion sweet shop that I wish I'd have gone inside as it...
Read moreIt was free to enter when I visited with my 17 year old son. There is a lot to see across the five rooms over two floors. The building itself is a beautiful Tudor building that, like the area around it, defies the fact that it's in the middle of a city.
It was interesting to read about Worcester's history.
It is free to enter but there are donation boxes if you wanted to make a donation.
There is also a little cafe there (I didn't go in there so can't comment on it).
Tudor House Museum has a lot of narrow stairs so may be difficult/impossible for those with physical disabilities. However, the downstairs parts are accessible (although not...
