Worcester Worcestershire

Approximate Population: 93,700

The 2001 census recorded that Worcester had a population of 93, 353 with 96.5% White ethnicity including 94.2% White British, greater than the national average.   The largest religious groups are Christian (77%) and No Religion or Not Stated (21%) with other religions totalling less than 2%.   Ethnic minorities include people of Chinese, Indian, Pakistani, Italian and Polish origin, with the largest single minority group being the ethnic Pakistani population of around 1200 people (around 1.3%).

This has led to Worcester containing a small but diverse range of religious groups; as well as the commanding Worcester Cathedral (Church of England), there are also Catholic and Baptist churches, a large centre for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons), an Islamic mosque, and a number of smaller interest groups regarding Eastern Religions such as Buddhism and the Hare Krishnas.

Worcester is the seat of a Church of England bishop.   His official signature is his Christian name followed by Wigorn, which is also occasionally used as an abbreviation for the name of the county.
