In January 2008, the society launched the Battle of Worcester Monument Appeal.  The appeal will raise monies, by public subscription and corporate sponsorship, to enable a lasting monument to be designed, created and erected to commemorate the battle.

The city of Worcester has a need to recognise its own heritage and the important part in English history that the battle represented.  The creation of a monument to the battle sited in an appropriate location within the city or its surrounds will add a very public landmark for citizens and tourists alike.

The society aims to create a lasting monument to the battle and has commissioned the services of member and well-known local sculptor, Ken Potts, to design a suitable series of monuments. 

Ken (below) is seen with two prototype designs for the plaques that the society plans to erect as part of a battlefield trail around Worcester.  Ken is seen outside the Guildhall in January 2008 at the launch of the appeal.
