Worcestershire

Worcestershire is a non-metropolitan administrative, ceremonial and historic county, situated in the West Midlands region of England.
The area that is now Worcestershire was absorbed into the unified Kingdom of England in 927, at which time it was a constituted county. Over the centuries the county borders have been modified, but it was not until 1844 that substantial changes were made. his culminated with the abolition of Worcestershire in 1974 with its northern area becoming part of the West Midlands and the rest part of the county of Hereford and Worcester. However, in 1998 the county of Hereford and Worcester was abolished and Worcestershire was reconstituted without the northern area ceded to the West Midlands.
