Brief Description:Gloucester Cathedral is situated in the heart of Gloucester and is an iconic building which can be glimpsed from several miles away; it is an extremely popular destination for visitors to the area as well as a place for regular worship.
With the restoration of the monarchy in 1660, the Dean and Chapter resumed the running of the cathedral and that is how it is managed today. Throughout the 18th-20th centuries they have carried out repairs and conservation work rather than rebuilding or remodelling the building.
