Gloucester Cathedral

Gloucester Cathedral's cloisters contain some of the earliest surviving fan vaulting in England. The Great Cloister was built in the 14th century and is one of the cathedral's most distinctive architectural features.

No. The present building began in 1089 as the Benedictine Abbey of St Peter, and it became a cathedral after Henry VIII dissolved the monasteries in the 16th century.

The cloisters of Gloucester Cathedral were used as Hogwarts corridor locations in the Harry Potter films. The medieval stone passages are recognizable in several school hallway scenes.

Gloucester Cathedral contains the shrine of King Edward II. Edward II was murdered at nearby Berkeley Castle in 1327, and his tomb helped make Gloucester an important pilgrimage site.
