Manchester, Colchester, Dorchester, Chichester, Winchester, Portchester, Rochester, Worchester

There is also the City of Chester in the north west of England, Ilchester in Somerset and Silchester in Hampshire. The "chester" suffix derives from the Latin word castra, meaning a camp or settlement, so these towns had been settled by the Romans during the Roman occupation of Britain which lasted from about the year 40 AD until about 450 - 500 AD. "Worchester" does not exist but the town of Worcester has a similar derivation - the "-cester" part also comes from the Latin word castra. Others with slightly different forms of castra include Alcester, Lancaster, Cirencester, Gloucester (pronounced Gloster), Leicester (pronounced Lester) Tadcaster, Wroxeter and Towcester, (pronounced Toaster.)
