Recognised as a distinct race in law, most, although not all, Gypsies live a travelling lifestyle. As a race they were persecuted by the Nazis and sent in huge numbers to concentration camps during the Second World War.
Gypsies first came to England in the 16th Century and large numbers of Romany Gypsies have lived in Worcestershire for many generations as may be witnessed in local churchyards.
