*************

Droitwich Spa (often abbreviated to Droitwich) is a town in northern Worcestershire, England, on the River Salwarpe. The town is situated on massive deposits of salt, and salt has been extracted there since ancient times. The natural Droitwich brine contains 2½ lbs. of salt per gallon - ten times stronger than sea water and rivalled only by the Dead Sea.

There are six churches in Droitwich including the Anglican church of St Andrew's, a Norman building where St Richard was probably baptized.^[10] The church tower was demolished in the 1920s after becoming dangerous due to land subsidence.^[10] St. Augustine's at Dodderhill, completed in 1220 and rebuilt in the 18th century on a hill, was the site of a former Roman fort and a later Anglo-Saxon church.^[11] St Peter's, built on the site of a former Saxon church, has parts, including the chancel, that date from Norman times, and has a memorial to Edward Winslow, one of the Pilgrim Fathers, who was born in the parish.^[12]

St Nicholas was built in Victorian times near the railway station;^[13] and the Roman Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart and St Catherine of Alexandria, on a building styled on the Roman basilica churches of Ravenna in Italy, has the feature of the interior walls being covered almost entirely of mosaic and marble designed by Gabriel Pippet.^[14] There are also a number of other chapels including Methodist, Baptist and a vibrant Salvation Army Hall.
