Gloucester

Today we were in Gloucester. Our first stop was the Museum of Life to see some of their sampler collection.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We found this amazing knocker on a church door. A docent explained it to us. On the bottom is the devil with horns and the knocker. On his back, upside down, is a woman who enjoyed her drink. Her tongue is out to get a last lick of the grapes above her before heading to hell.

 

 

The Gloucester cathedral was very impressive.

 

 

 

 

These are a couple of the gargoyles.

 

 

 

The interior was equally impressive.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These are all tombs.

 

 

 

 

This is the tomb of King Edward II who was born 1284 and reigned 1307-1327.

 

 

And this is the awesome cloister.
