| Cloisters Gloucester’s great Cloister is famous for its breath-taking fan vaulting, the earliest of its kind (and of course, the filming of Harry Potter….), but was originally built to house the Abbey’s monks and provided space to live, work and meditate. |  |
| Edward II Tomb The Tomb of King Edward II is the only monarch’s tomb in the South West and one of only a few outside of London. Therefore, it is of both historical and architectural significance. |  |
| Great East Window One of Gloucester Cathedral’s greatest treasures is the Great East Window. Situated in the Quire behind the high altar, the window is placed at the very heart of the Cathedral. Installed in the early 1350’s, it is one of the greatest landmarks of European stained glass. |  |
