Moving to Worcestershire?

There is a lot more to Worcestershire than the spicy brown sauce that has become world famous since it was first made in 1897. It produced apples and pears too: the Worcester Pearmain apple, the Worcester Black Pear; and the Pershore Plum pear. Joking aside, it’s an area of great beauty and antiquity. Ancient folklore says that the British chieftain Caractacus made his last stand against the Romans at the British Camp, a site of extensive Iron Age earthworks in the Malvern Hills. The invaders quickly built a number of fortresses, and began mining salt at Droitwich Spa. Worcester became an important manufacturing town; after the Romans left in the 5th century it dwindled dramatically. Only when the region was absorbed into the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Mercia in the 7th century did the city start to grow again.

In the years leading up to the Norman Conquest, the Church came to dominate the county: Urse d'Abetot, the first Norman Sherriff of Worcestershire, seized a lot of church land and built Worcester Castle. During the Middle Ages, the county built a strong economy based on the wool trade, and many of its forests became royal hunting grounds. This came to an end in 1642 with the beginning of the Civil War at the Battle of Powick Bridge. The War ended in 1651 with the Battle of Worcester, when Charles II’s attempts to regain his crown were decisively crushed. The King returned to his headquarters in the city before fleeing to France: in consequence the city was given the epithet “Fidelis Civitas” (“The Faithful City”), which is now part of its coat of arms.

A major glove making centre in the 18th and 19th centuries, Worcestershire is also the home of the Worcester Royal Porcelain Company. Malvern has been famed for its water since Elizabeth I made a point of drinking it in public; bottling in large quantities began in the 19th century and Queen Victoria refused to travel without it, as does the current queen, Elizabeth II. The county is also home to the world's oldest continually published newspaper, the Berrow's Journal, established in 1690. It has a warm damp climate, with temperatures ranging from lows of 3°C to highs of 23°C.

Worcester is a beautiful city. The imposing Cathedral Church of Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary was begun in 1084 and has the only circular chapter house in the UK; it is also the burial place of King John. There are a number of Tudor buildings in the city centre, and three wonderful parks: Cripplegate Park, Gheluvelt Park and Fort Royal Park, which is also a Civil War battlefield. The Three Choirs Festival is held here every three years – less esoteric but possibly more fun, Worcester Beer, Cider and Perry festival is the largest beer festival in the West Midlands. The Northwick Cinema has a wonderful Art Deco interior designed by John Alexander.

Malvern is a well-known spa town, very popular as a centre of hydrotherapy in the 19th century but now better known for its thriving arts scene. The 12th century priory retains most of the original stained glass and the Abbey Gateway, once a monastery, now houses the Malvern Museum. There are a number of Victorian Gothic houses: Prior’s Croft is especially impressive. There is a statue of Edward Elgar, Worcestershire’s most famous native, in Belle Vue Terrace, where you can see amazing views of the Malvern Hills. The Malvern Drama Festival has been running since 1929 and the Malvern Fringe Festival joined it in 1977. The Theatre of Small Convenience is the smallest theatre in the World, located in a Victorian public toilet with seats for twelve people!
