 Sir Edward Elgar Statue at Worcester - Photo John Stafford 2001 | Elgar's BirthplaceOn 2nd June, 1857, a baby boy was born in what is now the parish of Lower Broadheath. The little cottage where he was born, then called ‘The Firs’, has magnificent views of the city of Worcester and of the Malvern Hills. Although the family moved back into Worcester before he was three, the future Sir Edward Elgar visited the area of his Birthplace (now a Museum) and the nearby Common throughout his life, and took as his title ‘1st Baronet of Broadheath’. |
