St Swithun's Worcester: Make Your Mark

St Swithun's in Worcester has recently been renovated, thanks to funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. The building is full of graffiti, memorials, and plaques, connecting us to the people from St Swithun's past.
Come and make your own mark on the building by carving your own linocut stamp, which you can add to our Make Your Mark banner, before taking your stamp home with you.
You can also join us for special Hidden Parts Tours, highlighting all sorts of hidden marks, features, and secrets around the building.
