| Worcester College, in its current form, was founded only in 1714. However, on the south side of the college is a row of mediaeval cottages which are among the oldest in Oxford and which are the surviving buildings of Gloucester College, founded in 1283, which preceded Worcester. |

| Amongst Oxford students, Worcester is best known for its Ball. Every three years, in June, about a thousand ball-goers attend the "Worcester College Commemoration Ball" which is held in the college grounds, lasting from 6pm until 6am. |
| Notable former students include: Richard Adams : Alastair Burnet : Alastair Morton : Rupert Murdoch : Woodrow Wyatt - and of course many more ! |
| Worcester is fortunate in being close to the centre of Oxford. In the eighteenth century it was on the edge of the much smaller city and now benefits from its desirable location, having sports fields and gardens in a very convenient spot, thus attracting many visitors. |
