Worcester is a cathedral city in the heart of the English countryside and has great historical significance having been the site of the Battle of Worcester in 1651 which signaled the end of the English Civil War. Other historical significance the city lays claim to includes being the home of Royal Worcester Porcelain and the home of composer Sir Edward Elgar for the majority of his life.
