The Cathedral contains the tomb of [[John of England|King John]] in its [[chancel]]. Before his death in [[Newark, England|Newark]] in 1216, John had requested to be buried at Worcester. He is buried between the shrines of [[Wulfstan (Bishop of Worcester)|St Wulfstan]] and [[Oswald of Worcester|St Oswald]] (now destroyed).

The cathedral has a memorial, Prince Arthur's Chantry, to the young prince [[Arthur, Prince of Wales|Arthur Tudor]], who is buried here. Arthur's younger brother and next in line for the throne was [[Henry VIII of England|Henry VIII]]. Worcester Cathedral suffered badly from [[iconoclasm]] but was spared total destruction by Henry VIII during the English Reformation because of his brother's [[chantry]] in the cathedral.

An epitaph in Latin to [[Henry Bright (schoolmaster, born 1562)|Henry Bright]], headmaster of the [[King's School, Worcester]], can be found near the north porch.<ref>{{cite web |author=Anna Sander |url=http://archives.balliol.ox.ac.uk/History/gazetteer.asp |title=Balliol Gazetteer |publisher=Archives.balliol.ox.ac.uk |date=18 August 1993 |access-date=8 October 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111003154201/http://archives.balliol.ox.ac.uk/History/gazetteer.asp |archive-date=3 October 2011 |url-status=live }}</ref> Other notable burials include:
