Henry VIII founded King’s School. When he converted the Abbey of St Peter into Gloucester Cathedral, he also replaced the monastic school with a cathedral school. It taught grammar and trained choristers. The school now spreads out over a slew of buildings north of the cathedral. This is the entrance to the former Bishop’s Palace, taken over by the school in 1960. The palace was rebuilt in Victorian times, but the boundary wall is Tudor.
