People have been known to live in Worcester all the way back to those Neolithic times. May have also been one of the first places where the Romans built a fort. Though after the Romans would withdraw the town did dwindle down in size.

It wasn't for some time that more people would come to the area, around the middle of the seventh century actually. Almost completely destroyed during 1041 when there was a rebellion for the taxation problems in the area. Plus this area would be attacked several times while the civil war took place between Empress Matilda and King Stephen.

The Battle of Worcester took place In September 1651, and Charles II would try to get his crown back. However he would be defeated soundly. Suffering flooding back in 1670 when the river would break through the banks. There is a plate located on the cathedral that shows how high the river got during that flood.
