I don't think any part of the "Four counties Ring" has ever been in Worcs. My guess would be that the 4th county is indeed the West Midlands, which would have been administratively a county at the time that these rings were being given names (sometime in the late 70s early 80s I'd guess).

The 4th county would have been Lancashire which became part of Manchester in 1974. Phil
