‘KEY ELEMENTS of the original former Raven Hotel can be saved’ – that was the view of Historic England which visited the site on Wednesday after the devastating fire which destroyed the building. Two teenage girls, aged 13 and 14, were arrested on suspicion of arson and have since been released on bail. On Wednesday, Wychavon District Council met at the site with representatives from Historic England, structural engineers, building surveyors, Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service and West Mercia Police. “This building is woven into Droitwich’s history, and I know how many treasured memories are tied to it. “Our focus now is on protecting what can be saved, working hand-in-hand with the owners, Historic England, heritage bodies and our community to make sure the Raven’s story continues in some form for future generations.
