Gloucester Abbey
Gloucester Abbey was a Benedictine abbey for monks in the city of Gloucester, England. The abbey was founded about 1022 and was dedicated to Saint Peter.[1] It is recorded that the abbey lost about a quarter of its complement of monks in 1377 due to the Black Death.
In 1540, the abbey was dissolved by Henry VIII, and became Gloucester Cathedral the following year.[2]
