Legacy
In January 1994, along with David Sheppard, he was awarded the Freedom of the City of Liverpool. He was made Companion of Honour in the 1996 New Year Honours, but died of cancer two days after his 76th birthday, just a week before he was due to receive the honour.
On Sunday, 11 May 2008, during the Christian Walk of Witness, the Sheppard-Worlock Statue in the form of two bronze doors was unveiled to honour both Worlock and David Sheppard. The memorial was designed by the noted sculptor Stephen Broadbent and was funded by public donations. The memorial is situated halfway down Liverpool's famous Hope Street, which joins both the Roman Catholic and Anglican cathedrals.
