 Urse also oversaw the construction of a new castle at the town of Worcester , although nothing now remains of the castle . Worcester Castle was in place by 1069 , its outer bailey built on land that had previously been the cemetery for the monks of the Worcester cathedral chapter . The motte of the castle overlooked the river , just south of the cathedral . Although Urse had control of the castle after it was built , by 1088 he had lost it to the bishops of Worcester .
