​About Worcestershire

​

Worcestershire was first populated at least 700,000 years ago and was the heartland of the early English Kingdom of the Hwicce. Nowadays, the classic English country town of Worcester is the largest settlement known for its impressive cathedral. Other major towns in the county include Bromsgrove, Droitwich, Evesham, Kidderminster, Malvern, Redditch, and Stourport-on-Severn.

​

Possibly its most notable export is Worcestershire Sauce which was invented by chemists John Wheeley Lea and William Henry Perrins in 1837, hence the alternative name Lea and Perrins.

​

Worcestershire is one of three counties associated with the Border Morris style of English folk dancing. These were village dances performed in winter for fun and to entertain locals for money. It usually includes three to twelve dancers.

​

It is claimed that Worcestershire was the inspiration for The Shire, a region of J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional Middle-earth, described in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Tolkien was thought to have named Bilbo Baggins' house "Bag End" after his Aunt Jane's Worcestershire farm.
