The history of Gloucester

The City of Gloucester stands on the site of a Roman fortress dating from AD48 known as Glevum. The Saxons captured the city in 577 following the battle of Dyrham. Gloucester derives from the Anglo Saxon for fort, it’s situation on a navigable river and the foundation in 681 of the Abbey of St Peter by Æthelred favoured the growth of the town. The importance of the city was conformed by Henry 1st in 1155 by the granting of a charter giving the city privileges equal to those of London. In the Middle Ages the main export was wool which came from the Cotswolds and was processed in Gloucester; other exports included leather and iron (tools and weapons). Gloucester also had a large fishing industry at that time.

Throughout the English Civil War Gloucester stood for Parliament against the King. In 1643 the issue cam to a head when King Charles I demanded the surrender of the city, following his capture in Bristol. For almost a month an army of 35,000 men camped outside the city, which was defefended by no more than 1500 soldiers. In the opinion of most of the contemporary writers Gloucester was the turning point of the English Civil War. During the 2nd world war Gloucester was famous for it’s aircraft and the development of the jet engine by Mr Frank Whittle.

The 2001 Census recorded Gloucester’s population as 109,885. The city’s main industries are primarily service industries, as well as finance and business sector, and, more traditionally, the aerospace industry.
