Since Medieval times it has held legendary status as the earliest Christian foundation in Britain linked to Joseph of Arimathea and the burial place of King Arthur.

Gloucester Cathedral was built from the 11th century on the foundations of a 7th century abbey dedicated to Saint Peter.

The cathedral houses the tomb of King Edward II.
