Gloucester: The Crossroads of England

This is the story of the ancient city of Gloucester, which begins with the arrival of the Romans almost 2,000 years ago. Strategically placed at the lowest crossing point of the Severn, it is the furthest inland port in the country.
It was granted the title of Colonia, the highest status a city could have in the Roman empire, and was called Glevum. When the Romans left Britain, Gloucester gradually fell into ruin, yet in the 10th century it became an important town in the kingdom of Mercia. From that time on Gloucester featured prominently in history. In 1216, Henry III was crowned in the magnificent Abbey, the present day Cathedral, and Edward II was buried there just over a hundred years later.
Queen Elizabeth I granted the city Port status in 1580, enabling it to undertake foreign trade and eventually become one of the country's busiest ports. The recently redeveloped Docks remain an evocative and atmospheric place today. The city grew and continued to prosper in the Industrial Age, helped by the coming of the Railways in the 1840s, and in more recent times the local workforce has manufactured such varied products as railway rolling stock, motorcycles and matches. Special attention is paid to the Gloster Aircraft Company, which peaked during the Second World War when it employed some 14,000 people. World-famous aeroplanes such as the Meteor, Javelin and Gladiator are commemorated in the Aviation Garden in the centre of the city.
As the tale unfolds, you will learn more about the Cross, at the heart of Gloucester, where the four main streets meet; the famous local legends of Dick Whittington and Doctor Foster; the New Inn, which has been described as the finest galleried inn in the country; how Gloucester inspired the renowned children's author, Beatrix Potter; and the unplanned visit of C.S. Rolls, of Rolls-Royce fame.
With the help of some remarkable archive material, fascinating interviews and stunning modern film, the story is told by local historian and tour guide Chris Morgan, who has lived and worked in the Gloucester area all her life.

The Dick whittingtons 280113
This building was once a town house for the Whittington family who owned the Manor and Estates at Pauntley near Newent from 1311 to 1546. In 1455 the house was occupied by Richard Whittington, Lord of Stounton who was probably the son of Robert of Puntley, the brother of the famous 'Dick Whittington'.
In the early 17th Century, a man called John Taylor, who was a member of the Common Council in Gloucester occupied the building. He was severely censored by his fellow councillors when in April 1604 he concealed the fact that one of his servants lay dead of the plague and another had boils under his arms while, at the same time, the Mayor and Alderman were being entertained in his house.
Taylor was immediately expelled from the council and ordered to pay £100 for the relief of those that had been infected as a result of his actions. The front door was then boarded up, but they never new that Taylor had left another servant in the cellars to die alone of the plague, and she was never found.
Some of the reported incidents at Dick Whittington's
Some people have said that when they go into the ladies toilets, which were the cellars in 1604, they feel very weepy and frightened and cant stay in there for very long.
In 2005 a hunched figure seen walking around the cellar was just one of the ghosts which caused the owners of this haunted public house to call in paranormal investigators. Lights have also been seen floating over the bar, while furniture moves itself around the building. Previously, a ghostly man wearing a flat cap caused workmen to flee the building.

He was born some time in the 1350s and was sent to London to seek his fortune where the streets were said to be paved with gold. He managed to get an apprenticeship as a mercer (or cloth maker).
There is a famous fairytale which has been turned into a successful pantomime about how Dick Whittington ran away from his cruel master and then go a job on a ship because his cat was very good at catching rats. Apparently this made him very wealthy and he ended up becoming Mayor of London.
However, this is not true. Legend has it that he ran away from his master, Hugh Fitzwarren, and reached Highgate Hill when he stopped to rest his weary bones. He then heard the sound of the Bow Bell drifting across the fields which he thought were saying Turn again, Whittington, thrice Mayor of London.
So he did return to his master who was a wealthy mercer and he married his daughter and became very wealthy and successful.
The monument on Highgate Hill called Whittington Stone features a cat simply because of the fairytale but there is no evidence that he had a cat.
Dick Whittington did go on to become Mayor of London and by all accounts he was a good mayor. He was actually mayor 4 times and was considered very generous and charitable! (He was not Lord MAyor of London. The Lord Mayor is the Chief Justice Admiral and General and takes precedence over the monarch in some cases. The City of London having its own government separate from the monarch since Roman times.
He had once lent money to King Henry V and when the king came to visit him he built a huge lavish fire with fragrant woods and spices and threw £60 000 worth of bonds onto the fire announcing that he was cancelling the King's debts, to which King Henry V replied, Surely never had a King such a subject! and Sir Richard Whittington (now knighted) replied, Surely never had a subject such a king!
He built St Michael's Church (where he is buried) in the city, restored St Bartholomew's Hospital and had many aqueducts built. He even fined breweries if they served bad beer! He also rebuilt Newgate prison and prohibited the washing of animal skins in the river Thames by young apprentices because they would often die of cold.
Not a bad set of achievements for someone who died aged 48!
