As part of Gloucester's local history month you can visit this key historic church on what was the main Westgate, for centuries the lowest crossing of the River Severn. The pews will be filled with an exhibition of decorated silhouettes representing the key historic residents of Westgate Street. There will also be stalls by the Gloucestershire Family History Society, Gloucestershire County Archives and the Gloucester Local History Society. We will also be welcoming the odd costumed character who will be appearing in various spots along Westgate Street that day. 

Our volunteers will also be providing refreshments and giving guided tours of the church.
