Gloucester Cathedral (formally the Cathedral Church of the Holy and Indivisible Trinity) is a Church of England cathedral in Gloucester, Gloucestershire. It is the seat of the Bishop of Gloucester. It was formerly the conventual church of the Benedictine Abbey of St Peter. After the dissolution, it was re-founded as a secular cathedral. The present church includes major portions of the Romanesque church built 1089-1100 for Abbot Serlo. The Great and Little Cloisters, dating from the 14th century, display a fine example of fan vaulting. The cathedral contains the shrine of Edward II, murdered at nearby Berkeley Castle. The cathedral lies within a complex of mediæval buildings, including the Treasury, the Chapter House and the Cloisters. The cathedral is within the council area of Gloucester (Gloucestershire).
