"The Cathedral Church of Gloucester" by H. J. L. J. Massé is a descriptive account of the Cathedral's architecture and a brief history of its episcopal see, written in the early 20th century. This work serves as both a scholarly guide and accessible resource for visitors, providing an in-depth exploration of the cathedral's fabric and historical significance. The book is richly illustrated and aims to cater to both casual tourists and serious
students of architecture and history. At the start of this publication, the author introduces the complex history and architectural evolution of Gloucester Cathedral. The opening chapter discusses the origins of the building, highlighting distinctions between earlier foundations and the Norman construction laid by Abbot Serlo in 1089. The text explores various historical references to the Abbey from its founding by Osric in the 7th century to significant reconstructions indicated by local chronicles. It sets the stage for an intricate study of the cathedral's architectural styles and developments, adjacent to a multifaceted narrative that intertwines the roles of key figures such as Bishops, Abbots, and other notable personalities throughout the centuries.
