Worcester was known as Wirecestre in Domesday and is an ancient settlement on the banks of the River Severn. Its name derives from 'Roman town of the Weogora tribe'. The original cathedral was built in the 7th century and then rebuilt first by Bishop Wulfstan in the 11th century and then again in the 13th century following the burial of King John there in 1216. The cathedral has long physically dominated the city and until the Reformation was a centre of pilgrimage with its shrine to St Wulfstan. The city saw the final battle of the English Civil Wars in 1651 with Charles II hiding in an Oak Tree on his way to France.
Today the city is famous for its cricket ground and its own museums of porcelain. Ornate bone china has been manufactured in Worcester since the 18th century. The Three Choirs Festival is held at the cathedral every three years and the Worcester City Museum and Art Gallery on Foregate Street features an exhibition on the River Severn.
