Walks in England: Exploring Gloucester Cathedral
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ก.ค. 2018
- Gloucester Cathedral, formally the Cathedral Church of St Peter and the Holy and Indivisible Trinity, in Gloucester, England, stands in the north of the city near the River Severn. It originated in 678 or 679 with the foundation of an abbey dedicated to Saint Peter (dissolved by Henry VIII).
Today I am exploring the abbey with the help of Mark Garner, volunteer at the abbey.
A Christian place of worship had stood on the abbey site since Anglo-Saxon times. Benedictine rule was introduced about 1022 and the abbey dedicated to St Peter. [1] The fraternity was invigorated when King William I appointed the energetic Norman monk Serlo to be the abbot. Serlo built the impressive abbey Church of St Peter.

Beautiful place, many times I’ve been , always learn more.
That cathedral is amazing, I was there and stayed in my soul...
An amazing walk round for sure. Thanks for watching.
The cathedral is awestrucking when you are exploring it in person. I have been there a few times and I loved it. I hope you enjoyed it
Stunning! Incredibly Amazing! Again, love all the layers of history behind the build - but the architecture itself is just astounding!
It is breath taking!
What a fabulous building. The craftsmanship is overwhelming. Great commentary. Look forward to additional return here.
Much to see for sure - need to return.
One of the best cathedrals i have ever visited (i live in Gloucester , but not born there )So much history and a lot still too be seen inside it . Thanks Richard for putting it on one of your visits .
Absolutely stunning place! I just recently discovered that my 28th great-grandfather, Roger de Pitres, is buried there. He was the Sheriff of Gloucester under William the Conqueror and constable of Gloucester Castle. The workmanship in cathedral architecture is so beautiful it takes my breath away.
It sure is an amazing place. I must go back and study it more fully!
another great video Richard do please keep 'em coming, thanks, Robert.
Thanks, will do!
That natural sunlight showed it off incredibly well. And as you say it looks better in real life. Great scenes on the camera Richard. Thank you. And thanks to Mark.
Thanks David - a great trip round. I loved it.
What a triumph of sound, light, texture and architecture. Although the organ must of made your edit a nightmare, it really added to the ambience.
Thanks Nigel - very lovely in there for sure.
One of my Aunts was a flower arranger in the Cathedral for many years
Superb filming Richard, you really captured how beautiful the cathedral is and a really interesting talk with your guide Mark. Never knew about the composer John Stafford Smith of the music to the Star Spangled Banner. Also the lady chapel looked enchanting. A lovely and beautiful cathedtal.
So pleased you enjoyed it Mark! :)
absolutely beautiful
Thank you
I am from Gloucester Born & Raised ~ Walked this Cathedral many times as a kid and attended Christmas Eve Services
Words can't really do it justice, it's breathtaking. 👍
That's very true
Stunning ! One of the gems of merry old England.
Video barely covers the beauty of the place - thanks so much for watching. :)
@@RichardVobes what is your favorite cathedral in the UK?
How on earth did the stonemasons of the time
build this ??
Absolutely beautiful ! What craftsmanship !!
As you both commented , we would be hard pressed to build
it today !!
This video will surely inspire others to visit Gloucester Cathedral !
Thank you both 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
I know - it is staggering
👏 amazing
What a fabulous, incredible building. The windows, the roof, the monuments - wow! Mark is a very knowledgeable guide. The organ sounds like a mighty beast!
Good also to see the Hogwarts cloisters!
Interesting factoid (myth) about Edward II - a lie was started in the 1330s/1340s that he was killed by a red hot poker in a place where no one should have a red hot poker!
Thanks Matthew - a lovely place indeed. Thanks to Mark for showing me around.
His Ass-Holiness indeed.
You should go up the tower
I live in gloucester, my sister works in the cathedral so i used to go there every weekend until the virus
are pictures allowed inside the Cathedral?
Yes ofc
i ship it omg
When u go into the cathedral u will recognise somethings u may see in Harry Potter
I’m Gloucester born and bread and visit the Cathedral regularly, taking advantage of this amazing place right on my doorstep.
now where did the bloody writing of that Weasley girl go, i wonder?
I don't know
It's so strange that such a beautiful building is in the centre of an otherwise pretty depressing city
Not really when you consider when the cathedral was built.
+ Button G....to think, 2019....& we have that appalling self-serving Tory as our MP. Wonderful video guys.
I love Hogwarts
Never seen it.
Hogwarts
Stunning architecture
