Worcester House - City

From Louis Zettersten: WORCESTER WHARF – Here stood in the 15th century Worcester House, belonging to the Earls of Worcester, but Stow records that the palace was "now divided into many tenements."

In the late 16th and early 17th Century the Fruiterers' Company had their hall in this house. Probably lost in the Great Fire. It is the building to the right in the engraving.

Not to be confused with Worcester House - Strand.
