gloucester

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'english city' is the definition.
'gloucester' can be an answer for 'city' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'english' bit.

'lectures go badly' is the wordplay.
'badly' indicates anagramming the letters (letters in the wrong order).
'lectures'+'go'='lecturesgo'
'lecturesgo' with letters rearranged gives 'GLOUCESTER'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gloucester that I've seen before include "part of 1 25 [KING LEAR]" , "City on the Severn" , "Character in King Lear" .)
