King John's tomb by leics
King John was not a very good king; in fact, he was a pretty bad one. So bad, in fact, that the English nobles forced him (in the end) to sign the first 'statute of liberties'...the 'Magna Carta' ........which laid out exactly what a monarch could and could not do. He died, in 1216, of a 'surfeit of peaches' and asked to be buried in Worcester Cathedral. His elaborate tomb lies in front of the altar, topped with Purbeck marble and an effigy of the dead monarch (minus nose, thanks to the Cromwellians).
