Daytrip Number Three: Greyfriars
The street is a mess with people holding their heads in their hands as the day's progression attacks the sanity of the human race. As conformity and monotonous lifestyles culminate in a great load of nothing. And as two people step in line with the rest of the world a small gem hides stuck between commercial buildings a warm and cosy tudor period house dripping with a rustic charm.
This third expedition was actually an effort to look for employment when we literally stumbled upon this absolutely thrilling house. It's story is much the same built in 1480 and like alot of old treasures rescued from near demolition it was a merchant's house. A buyer bought the street which houses a row of Tudor houses that steal the show from the glitzy glamour of corporate shops with glistening lino and neon lights.
This one "The Greyfriars" the others having been transformed into stalls, it is very genuine inside and modest in furnishings. What captures the heart of its visitors is its true representation of architecture at the time. The floors slope in all directions the oak beams scream history in between the plaster or preceeding material. But everything sits so comfotably in this sloping house. Quiet and ever remaining as a testament to the craft that is now dead.
After you walk the hallowed halls the expanse of green that is the elegant garden that ushers a in a quiet respect only steps away from the High Street is a very therapeutic piece of greenery to lose a moment of your life in. So concludes my journey into Worcester.
