Dissenters’ Way September 2026
Worcester Dissenters’ Way is a walking tour around the key sites of non-conformist Worcester. You will discover the surprising history of dissenters in Worcester; the influence they had on the development of the city and the story of their buildings. Illustrated with maps, pictures and documents, this is an event not to be missed.
This year the tour will take place on Thursday 17th September 2026 at 2pm and will last approximately 2 hours, followed by refreshments. There is no charge but donations to cover costs are welcomed. Booking is essential (maximum 15 participants); further details will follow.
The tour is led by Annette Leech, a local historian and independent researcher with a particular interest in the non-conformist history of Worcester. She is a Trustee of WDHCT, author of Worcester Quaker Walk and, with Tim Bridges, The Churches and Chapels of the City of Worcester. More recently she has collaborated with Dr Pat Hughes to write an in-depth history of the City of Worcester, published by the Logaston Press: The Story of Worcester is available in all good bookshops and online booksellers.
