Gloucester Life

A recent picture of the Museum.

Gloucester Life is housed in two of the oldest buildings in the City of Gloucester, a Tudor merchant's house and a 17th-century town house. The museum, at 99–103 Westgate Street, is devoted to the social history of Gloucestershire.

Bishop Hooper is said to have lodged in the buildings now occupied by the museum the night before he was burned at the stake in front of St Mary de Lode Church in 1555.[1]

In March 2016, The Museum rebranded itself and used to be called Gloucester Folk Museum..[2]
