The cathedral is a Grade I listed building. There are a large number of other listed buildings within the cathedral complex. The cathedral stands in the north of the city near the River Severn. It originated with the establishment of a minster, Gloucester Abbey, dedicated to Saint Peter and founded by Osric, King of the Hwicce, in around 679. In the cathedral and also listed as Grade I, include the Treasury, the Chapter House, the Cloisters, the precinct wall and a number of the medieval gates into the cathedral enclosure. Others are listed at Grade II* and Grade II.
Carrying on with my Cathedrals project today and another shot from my visit to Gloucester Cathedral in January.
The Nave at Gloucester may not be as grand as some cathedrals, but it is still a beautiful building to explore and one I need to return to at a later date as I missed a few parts of the building due to an event going on.
I've decided in my foolishness that I'm going to try and visit every Church of England cathedral in the country, there are 40 mainland cathedrals, one in The Isle of Man and one in Gibraltar It'll probably take me forever but at least I'll get to see some of the country while I'm doing my project, and don't worry, I won't spam you with all the photos right away, just as and when I get to somewhere new.
The Monastery, known as Blackfriars from the black cloaks the friars wore, was founded on a site west of Southgate Street, Gloucester, with the city wall adjacent to the south. It comprised a church and a quadrangle formed by such buildings as the scriptorium (library), the dormitory with its renowned scissor-braced roof and the cloisters. It was established around 1239 under the patronage of Henry III and at its height was home to 30-40 friars. Today it is one of the most complete surviving Dominican black friaries in England and owned by English Heritage.
We came across these old scooters parked up outside the old dock buildings in Gloucester. I got the impression that a it was a regular Sunday morning meet.
I can think of one pal on Flickr who might not appreciate the content. Rather than a scooter meeting perhaps I should look out for a similar classic bike rally.

The years and centuries are falling away as Gloucester prepares to travels back to the Dark Ages
A Viking longship in Gloucester Docks as people in Anglo-Saxon and Viking garb wander across the city to mark the anniversary of Aetheflaed’s death 1,100 years ago
Comparisons have been made between Aethelflaed and Daenerys Targaryen, which fans of Game of Thrones will recognise as the Queen of Dragons.

View of Gloucester from near Prinknash Abbey. Cathedral is the most significant building in the shot. In the foreground is Upton St Leonards Parish Church. The only other really promient building, towards the rear and on the right, is the interconnecting towerblocks of Gloucestershire Royal Hospital and its power station chimney. Behind it, around 30 km away, are the Malvern Hills.
A shot taken from just inside the entrance of Gloucester's excellent cathedral.
It's actually a single Raw exposure processed 4 times and tonemapped.
Rather than oversaturating it (as is usually the HDR way...) I actually took out a lot of the colour and I reckon it's enhanced the stonework better.
Thanks in advance for any likes and comments. I read all and appreciate your feedback. Peace and blessings.
