Description

King Edward's Gate

Now only the west turret and spiral staircase of this gateway survive. In 1327 this gateway witnessed the end of a journey perhaps unique in the life of the monastery, for the Abbot had sent an escort to bring back to the Cathedral the body of Edward II, who was murdered in Berkeley Castle. Edward I, his father built the gateway, and his father Henry III was crowned in Gloucester Cathedral.
