The arms of the Diocese of Worcester

The Diocese of Worcester is one of 44 in the Anglican Communion.
It covers the County of Worcestershire, the Metropolitan Borough
of Dudley and a few parishes in northern Gloucestershire, south east
Wolverhampton and Sandwell.
The Diocese was created in 680 A.D. when, at the Synod of Hatfield,
under St. Theodore, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the great Mercian
diocese was divided into five sees.
The first Bishop of Worcester was the monk Bosel.
