Description
Gloucester Cathedral originated in 678 or 679 with the foundation of an abbey dedicated to Saint Peter. The abbey was dissolved by King Henry VIII in 1540. The cathedral combines Gothic and Romanesque architecture and the cloisters at Gloucester are the earliest surviving fan vaults in the (Gothic) Perpendicular style having been designed in the middle 14th Century.
