Gloucester Cathedral

The Cathedral Church of St Peter and the Holy and Indivisible Trinity, commonly called Gloucester Cathedral is the cathedral of the Diocese of Gloucester and the seat of the Bishop of Gloucester. It stands in the City of Gloucester, county town of Gloucestershire, in the north of the city near the River Severn.

The origin of the cathedral is in 678 or 679, with the foundation of an abbey dedicated to Saint Peter, an abbey dissolved only in the sixteenth century by King Henry VIII. (Read more)
