Worcester, cathedral city and county town, famous for its pottery as well as its literary outpourings, offered Samuel Butler (1612-1680) an education at its King's School. William Symonds (1818-1887) features the village Upton-upon-Severn in several of his novels and Mrs Henry Wood (1814-1887) renames the village of Lydiate Ash for her novel set in the area called The shadow of Ashlydyat. The Malvern Hills, offering fine views to Wales, inspired poet W. H. Auden (1907-1973) during his stay in a local village.
Below you will find a list of some towns and villages of Worcestershire. The places, and their literary connections, are described on separate pages.
