Description
The intricate stonework of the net-like vaulted ceiling of Gloucester Cathedral’s high roof towers above its cavernous interior. Built in 1100 as a Norman abbey church, it survived the Dissolution thanks to its historical connection with the monarchy. It has one of the largest medieval stained glass windows in England and an elegant and impressive interior. It was from this church that William I ordered the Domesday Book, and, in more recent history, the cathedral was graced by the filming of more than one Harry Potter movie.
Completed in 1367, Gloucester's great Cloister is also famous for its magnificent fan vaulting, which is believed to be the earliest example in England.
