About Worcester
The cathedral city of Worcester in Worcestershire is most famous for being the home of Royal Worcester Porcelain, Lea & Perrins (the makers of traditional Worcestershire sauce), and Berrow’s Worcester Journal, the world’s oldest newspaper. Plus, the famous composer Edward Elgar grew up in the city – most of us will know him as the man behind the first of the five Pomp and Circumstance Marches traditionally performed every year at the Last Night of the Proms!
Worcester is also bursting with a rich history dating back to ancient times, founded originally by the Romans around 50 AD. After the Romans left, Worcester became an important religious centre, and established its (now renowned) cathedral in the 7th century. During medieval times, Worcester grew as a thriving market town with the cathedral at the heart. Worcester played a key role during the Civil War in the mid-1600s with the last battle of the war, the Battle of Worcester, ending with the defeat of King Charles II’s forces by the Parliamentarians. In the 18th and 19th centuries, Worcester became industrialised, with a prevalent growth in porcelain manufacturing and engineering. It was during this time the famous Worcester Porcelain was established.
Today, the renowned city near Birmingham, Gloucester, and Hereford continues to be celebrated for its stunning cathedral, historic architecture, and vibrant cultural and educational scene. With the River Severn skirting its western edge, the city’s population of over 100,000 enjoys a lively and bustling community atmosphere.
