ROMAN WORCESTER. The city of Worcester was founded by the Romans about 50 AD. It stood on the Roman road from Wroxeter to Gloucester so a considerable amount of traffic passed through. ... Worcester was probably surrounded by a ditch and an earth rampart with a wooden palisade on top.

Where did Worcester get its name? ... Some believe the name Worcester comes from the Saxon Wegeraceaster, meaning war castle, while others say that the city may be named after the Battle of Worcester (UK) in 1651.
