Gloucester Cathedral, formally the Cathedral Church of St Peter and the Holy and Indivisible Trinity, in

Benedictine Order at the beginning of the 11th century and in around 1058, Ealdred, Bishop of Worcester, established a new abbey "a little further from the place where it had stood". The abbey appears not to have been an initial success, by 1072, the number of attendant monks had reduced to two. The present building was begun by Abbott Serlo
in about 1089, following a major fire the previous year.

Serlo's efforts transformed the abbey's fortunes; rising revenues and royal patronage enabled the construction of a major church. William the Conqueror held his Christmas Court at the chapter house in 1085, at which he ordered the compilation of Domesday Book. In October 1216, Henry III was crowned at the abbey. Following another disastrous fire in 1222, an ambitious rebuilding programme was begun. In the 14th century, the Great and Little Cloisters were constructed, displaying the earliest, and perhaps the finest, examples of fan vaulting anywhere. The cathedral contains the shrine of Edward II, who was murdered at Berkeley Castle nearby.

Following the

Henry VIII in 1536, the abbey was refounded as a cathedral. The cathedral underwent much restoration in the 18th century, and again in the 19th. In 1989, it celebrated its 900th anniversary. In 2015, the installation of Rachel Treweek saw the Church of England appoint its first woman as a diocesan bishop. The cathedral has frequently been used as a filming location, including as a stand-in for Hogwarts in the Harry Potter movies
.

The cathedral is a

History

Early history

The first recorded religious building on the site was a minster founded by

Walter de Lacy and his wife,[b] enabled Serlo to embark on a major rebuilding, and between the laying of the foundation stone in 1089 and the abbey's re-consecration in 1100, work on the nave, the apse, the crypt and the chapter house was undertaken at speed[5] and on an "exceptional scale".[12]

St Peter's Abbey had long enjoyed important royal connections, from its foundation, then under the patronage of the Conqueror, and in October 1216 it was chosen as the venue for the coronation of Henry III, after the death of his father, King John.[13] The nine-year old boy was crowned in the presence of his mother Isabella, whose bracelet was reputedly used in place of a crown.[5] The abbey's royal connections continued, albeit in a darker vein, in the following century. In 1327, Edward II was buried in an elaborate shrine at Gloucester, following his death at Berkeley Castle nearby. Widely believed to have been murdered,[12] Edward was entombed at Gloucester in a lavish ceremony attended by his widow, Isabella and their young son, Edward. The abbey reputedly benefitted from substantial gifts donated by those making pilgrimage to Edward's shrine, although this is disputed. Nikolaus Pevsner suggests that the more likely source of revenue was the new king, making donations in piam memoriam.[14] Others support the traditional claim, and Jon Cannon, in his work, Cathedral: The great English cathedrals and the world that made them, is certain that the presence of the body of the dead king had a long-term, beneficial, impact on the abbey's fortunes, citing Henry VIII's later decision to make it a cathedral, on account of the presence of "many famous monuments of our renowned ancestors, kings of England."[15]

However occasioned, the cathedral's improved financial position enabled another great period of building. This work included the cloisters, with their famed fan vaulting.[16] St Peter's was unusual as a religious foundation in commissioning its own history, the Historia Monasterii Sancti Petri Gloucestriae. Its author, Walter Frocester (died 1412), became its first mitred abbot in 1381.[17]

Dependencies

Dissolution and recreation

At its inception, the abbey stood in the

see of Worcester; but its position was transformed at the Dissolution of the monasteries. Following abolition, Henry VIII created the new Diocese of Gloucester and on 3 September 1541,[22] the abbey church became its cathedral, with John Wakeman, last abbot of Tewkesbury, as its first bishop.[16] The diocese covered the greater part of Gloucestershire, with small parts of Herefordshire and Wiltshire. Although staunchly Royalist in its sympathies, the city, and the cathedral, escaped largely unscathed from the tumult of the English Civil War and plans for complete demolition formulated during the Commonwealth were not taken forward.[16]

The 18th and 19th centuries saw repeated periods of reconstruction, renovation and rebuilding. Counter to the approach sometimes adopted elsewhere in the

Second World War a recess in the crypt was used to house the Coronation Chair, which had been moved in August 1939 from Westminster Abbey for safe keeping. The 13th century bog-oak effigy of Robert Curthose was placed on the chair and the whole covered by sandbags. The Great East Window was also dismantled and placed in storage.[25] The remainder of the 10,000 sandbags supplied by the Office of Works were used to protect the other monuments in the cathedral, including the tomb of Edward II.[25]

Modern period

The cathedral celebrated its 900th anniversary in 1989. In 2015 Rachel Treweek was installed as bishop, the first woman to be appointed to a diocesan bishopric in the history of the Church of England.[26] In September 2016 Gloucester Cathedral joined the Church of England's 'Shrinking the footprint' campaign, intended to reduce the Church of England's carbon emissions by 80% by 2050. The cathedral commissioned a solar array on the cathedral roof which is expected to reduce the cathedral's energy costs by 25%.[27] The installation was completed by November 2016, making the 1,000-year-old cathedral the oldest one in the UK with a solar installation.[28][29]

Architecture

Main building

The cathedral consists of a

Walter de Lacy is buried there), with additions in every style of Gothic architecture. It is 420 feet (130 m) long, and 144 feet (44 m) wide, with a fine central tower of the 15th century rising to the height of 225 ft (69 m) and topped by four delicate pinnacles
, a famous landmark.

The crypt, nave and chapter house date from the late 11th century. The crypt is one of the four

apsidal cathedral crypts in England, the others being at Worcester, Winchester and Canterbury
. The nave was begun in 1089. The church was largely complete by 1100. In the early 12th century, the western towers were added; the south tower collapsed around 1165.

In 1222, a fire damaged the timber roof and several of the monastic buildings. To repair the damage and update the architectural style, an ambitious building campaign was launched, including the revaulting of the nave Early English style (completed 1243); the construction of the central tower (begun 1237); the rebuilding of the collapsed south tower (completed 1246); and the rebuilding of the refectory.[9]

The south aisle was rebuilt in 1318–29. The most notable monument is the canopied shrine of

bog oak of Robert Curthose, eldest son of William the Conqueror and a great benefactor of the abbey, who was interred there. Monuments of William Warburton (Bishop of Gloucester) and Edward Jenner (physician) are also worthy of note. The coronation of Henry III is commemorated in a stained-glass window in the south aisle.[33]

Between 1873 and 1890, and in 1897, the cathedral was extensively restored by George Gilbert Scott. The cathedral has forty-six 14th-century misericords and twelve 19th-century replacements by Gilbert Scott. Both types have a wide range of subject matter: mythology, everyday occurrences, religious symbolism and folklore.[34]

Cloisters and cathedral precincts

The cloisters at Gloucester are the earliest surviving fan vaults in England, having been designed between 1351 and 1377 by Thomas de Cantebrugge.[35][d] David Verey and Alan Brooks, in the 2002 revised volume, Gloucestershire 2: The Vale and the Forest of Dean, in the Pevsner Buildings of England series, call them "the most memorable in England".[37] The cathedral itself suggests that they form "the first and best example of fan vaulting in the world".[38][e] The cloisters stand to the north of the cathedral and, along with the cathedral precincts to the north and east, contain a number of listed buildings. The Great Cloister itself is listed at Grade I,[39] as are the Little Cloister[40] and Little Cloister House,[41] the remains of a reservoir in the north-west corner of the Great Cloister[42] and a passage from the cloister to the former Infirmary,[43] the remains of the infirmary itself,[44] and the north Precinct Wall.[45]

The other major structures within the precincts are the

Treasury and library. They date initially from the 11th century, although they have undergone major reconstruction in subsequent centuries. Both are Grade I listed buildings. The treasury adjoins the main cathedral on its northern side, with the library above it, and the chapter house adjoins the treasury.[46][47]

Other structures in the precincts now form part of

King's School, Gloucester including: the remains of the Abbott's lodgings[48] and Dulverton House,[49] both listed at Grade II*, and the gymnasium,[50] Dulverton House Coachhouse,[51] Wardle House,[52] Palace Cottage[53] and a set of railings surrounding a playground,[54]
all of which are listed at Grade II.

College Green and Miller's Green

College Green lies to the south and west of the cathedral, forming its cathedral close.[55] It was originally the site of a series of monastic graveyards, but was largely rebuilt in the 18th century when many of the buildings were converted to domestic use.[55] Miller's Green forms a close to the north of the cathedral and was originally the monastic service court. Both Miller's Green and College Green contain a large number of Listed buildings. College Green is entered through St Michael's Gate, which dates from the 14th century and is listed at Grade I.[56] No.s 1,[57] 2,[58] 3,[59] and 4[60] are listed Grade II and stand between St Michael's Gate and King Edward's Gate, which dates from the 16th century, was subject to a major restoration in the 19th century and is listed at II*.[61] No.s 6,[62] 7,[63] and 8 conclude the south-western edge of the green and are all listed at Grade II.[64] No.9 College Green begins the western range of the close and is listed Grade II*.[65] The western range includes No.s 10,[66] 11,[67] 12, Beaufort House,[68] and 13,[69] all of which are listed at Grade II, and concludes with No. 14, which is listed Grade II*.[70] The close is then broken by St Mary's Gateway, a scheduled monument.[71] The War Memorial to the Royal Gloucestershire Hussars Yeomanry, a Grade II* listed structure, stands in the centre of College Green.[72] The northern side of College Green concludes with No. 15, Community House, which is Grade II listed,[73] and Church House, which was originally the Abbot's Lodge and is now utilised as offices and a restaurant and is listed at Grade I.[74] On the south-eastern edge of the Green, No.s 17,[75] 18[76] and 19[77] are listed at Grade II, while 20 College Green is Grade II*.[78]

Miller's Green is entered through the Inner Gateway, between Community House and No. 7, Miller's Green. The gateway dates from the 14th century and formed the gatehouse to the monastic service court. It is a Grade I listed building,[79] while No. 7 is listed at Grade II.[80] Other buildings on Miller's Green include the Deanery, listed at Grade II*,[81] the Old Mill House, No. 2 Miller's Green, listed at Grade II,[82] and No.s 3,[83] 4A,[84] 4B,[85] 5[86] and 6,[87] all listed at Grade II.

Dean and chapter

Music

Choir

In medieval times, daily worship was sung by boys and monks from the abbey. The cathedral's current choir was established by King

King's School, which was also founded by Henry VIII. The choir sings regularly during term time and at major religious festivals such as Christmas or Easter. It also takes part in concerts and has been featured in choral evensong on BBC Radio 3.[91]

Organ

The cathedral's first organ was built by Thomas Harris in 1666. Its original case remains complete, the only such surviving example from the 17th century in England. The pipes displayed on the front of the case are still functional. Over the following four centuries many of the major English organ builders have made contributions to the organ, including modifications in 1847 and a complete rebuild between 1888-1889 by Henry "Father" Willis.[92][93] Harrison & Harrison undertook a further reconstruction in 1920.[94]

In 1971 Hill, Norman and Beard, working with the cathedral's organist John Sanders, and a consultant, Ralph Downes, completely redesigned the instrument, which was again overhauled in 1999 by Nicholson & Co. In 2010 Nicholson's added a Trompette Harmonique solo reed.[94] As of 2023, the organ is out of commission, but the cathedral has contracted with Nicholsons for the latest reconstruction to be completed by the time of the next Three Choirs' Festival in 2026.[94]

Organists

In 1582, Robert Lichfield is recorded as the organist of Gloucester Cathedral. Notable among the organists are composers and choral conductors of the

Magnificat and Nunc dimittis for Gloucester Cathedral

Three Choirs Festival

An annual musical festival, the Three Choirs Festival, is hosted by turns in this cathedral and those of Worcester and Hereford in rotation.[95] The Three Choirs is the oldest annual musical festival in the world.

Clock and bells

Clock

The cathedral's clock, bells and the chimes are referred to in a repair agreement of 1525. The present clock, installed in 1898, is by Dent and Co, who built the clock for Big Ben. There is no external dial, but there is a fine Art Nouveau clock face in the north transept, dating from 1903, designed by Henry Wilson.[96]

Bells

The bells were rehung and augmented in 1978 to give a ring of twelve. The two oldest bells date from before 1420, so they are older than the present tower. The bells are rung 'full circle' by the cathedral's band of ringers for the weekly practice session In addition there is Great Peter, the largest medieval bell in Britain, weighing a fraction under three tons. Great Peter is the hour bell and can also be heard ringing before the main services.[97]

Burials and monuments

Gloucester Cathedral has a large collection of funerary monuments from the Middle Ages to the present. Notable people buried at Gloucester Cathedral include:

Film and television location

The cathedral has been used as a filming location for movies and for TV including: the first, second and sixth Harry Potter movies;[99] the Doctor Who episodes The Next Doctor[100][101] and the Fugitive of the Judoon;[102] The Hollow Crown;[103] Wolf Hall;[104] the Sherlock special The Abominable Bride;[105][106] Mary Queen of Scots;[107] and all three of The Cousins' War adaptations – The White Queen,[108] The White Princess[109] and The Spanish Princess.[110]

Notes

  1. ^ The history of the early church is made more complicated by its intermingling with that of St Oswald's Priory. This foundation was established in around 909 by Æthelflæd, daughter of Alfred the Great, but was also dedicated to St Peter. Over the following centuries, as the abbey grew in wealth and importance, it incorporated elements of the priory.[9]
  2. ^ On Walter de Lacy's death in 1085, he was buried in the chapter house at Gloucester and his son later became abbot there.[11]
  3. ^ George Gilbert Scott's plans for the restoration of Tewkesbury Abbey saw a furious assault from William Morris, who subsequently founded the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings to fight against the "scraping" he considered was so often the result of Victorian restoration.[24]
  4. ^ Thomas of Catebrugge (of Canterbury) also undertook work at Hereford Cathedral.[36]
  5. ^ Gloucester Cathedral also has a Little Cloister, extending from the northeast corner of the Great Cloisters.[38]
