It was with great sadness that we recently learned that one of the University’s most long-standing and best-loved colleagues, Dr Paddy McNally, had passed away.

Paddy taught History at the University for more than 30 years, inspiring hundreds of students with his knowledge and expertise.

A celebration of Paddy’s life will be held at 10am on Wednesday August 13th at The Vale Crematorium, Evesham. The celebration will continue afterwards at The Anchor in Diglis, from 12noon.

All who knew Paddy are warmly invited to join his family to honour his life and share memories.

We caught up with Graphic Design graduate Beth Morgan at her job at WeAreBeard, a top creative design agency here in Worcester 💬
