BBC - Hereford and Worcester - Features - The Commandery Civil War centre and museum

Tradition has it that the building was founded as a hospital around 1085 by Saint Wulfstan, then Bishop of Worcester.
The hospital was among the last monastic institutions to be dissolved by Henry VIII in 1540.
The building survived the Battle of Worcester in 1651, when the area was in the thick of the fighting.
It has since had many uses including a private home, a college for the blind and a printing works.
