about Worcester

The city of Worcester (pronounced 'Wuster') is the county town of Worcestershire in England; the river Severn runs through the middle, with the city's large Worcester Cathedral overlooking the river.

Worcester history

The site of Worcester was first used by the Roman Empire in the 1st century, linking Gloucester to Wroxeter. In 407 AD the village was thought to have been abandoned, only to be resurrected as a settlement in the mid 7th century by the Saxons, giving it the name of "Weogoran cester".

Worcester was the site of the Battle of Worcester (September 3, 1651), in which Charles II's attempt to retake the country from the Cromwell and the Parliamentarians was decisively defeated, in the fields a little to the west and south of the city, near the village of Powick. Legend has it that Charles, having lost the battle was forced to hide from his pursuers in an oak tree; a pub in the city is still named "The Royal Oak" in commemoration of this. Worcester was one of the cities loyal to the king in that war, for which it was given the epithet "The Faithful City".
