About Gloucester Cathedral
Gloucester Cathedral’s knowledgeable and friendly Guides will lead you through 1000 years of history. Trace the architectural styles from Norman through Perpendicular to the present day where a team of stonemasons are still busy carving and casting. The extraordinary fan-vaulted medieval cloisters and Great East Window are national treasures and the Lady Chapel houses some of the finest Arts & Crafts glass in the country.
The tomb of Edward II became a place of pilgrimage in the 14th century and inspired the innovative cathedral building we treasure today. It is the only monarch’s tomb in the South West, one of only a few outside London and as such is of both historical and architectural significance.
There is plenty for families to see and do, including the Whispering Gallery, the Giant Jigsaw and the Teddy Trail – not forgetting the chance to see where Harry Potter and Dr Who were filmed.
The Cathedral Choir stems from that established by Henry VIII and is of a very high standard. The choir sings at the Sunday Eucharist and at most daily Evensongs during school term time.
...a warm welcome awaits you at Gloucester Cathedral – a medieval jewel and a glorious sacred space
