Brian McBurnie and Richard Auckland have brought us several fascinating stories on Barnwood and tonight we are debuting their latest talk about “Barnwood Court (and Abbot Parker)”.
Parker the last abbot of St Peters Abbey (now the Cathedral) built his own tomb at the cathedral but he’s not buried there. In fact, no-one knows where he was laid to rest, but Barnwood Church has a good claim.
This talk is open to all Gloucester Civic Trust members and is held at the Gala Club, Fairmile Gardens, Gloucester. GL2 9EB
Talks start at 7.30pm. Admission is free, with a retiring collection to help cover costs.
