John of Worcester was a twelfth century English monk and chronicler, who served at Worcester Priory until his death in c. 1140. He is believed to be the author of the ‘Chronicon ex Chronicis’, previously known as Florence of Worcester’s Chronicle. A work of world history, it begins with the Creation and ends in the year 1140. John was a careful annalist, who made use of important sources, while drawing upon local records and traditions.
