Its ecclesiastical associations are of the greatest inte¬
rest. In 679 a monastery was founded, and is still
represented by the magnificent cathedral which adorns
the city. The see of Gloucester was formed in 1541;
before that date the whole of the co. belonged to Wor¬
cester diocese. Several parliaments were anciently
held in the city. During its occupation by the Parlia¬
mentarians in 1643 it was besieged by Charles I. Apart
from the cathedral the chief architectural features of
the city are the Shire Hall, the Town Hall or Tolsey,
the county gaol, corn market, infirmary, and hospital;
a new episcopal palace was built in 1861. There are 3
endowed schools. Gloucester carries on an important
foreign trade, especially with the Baltic ports. Through
the Gloucester and Berkeley Canal the city has com¬
munication with the Bristol Channel. (For shipping
statistics, see Appendix.) The mfrs. comprise match
works, foundries, chemical works, cordage works, rail¬
way plant works, soaperies, breweries, &c. Gloucester
was the birthplace of Taylor, the AYater Poet (1580-
1(554), AVhitfield, the founder of the Calvinistic
Methodists (1714-1770), and Raikes, the founder of
Sunday schools in England (1735-1811). The bor. re¬
