St Michael's Tower
St Michael’s Tower is situated in the centre of Gloucester at The Cross.
The Tower is the surviving 15th century tower of the Church of St Michael the Archangel.
The Tower, as it is known in the city, is usually open from April to September between 10.30 am and 4 pm Mondays to Saturdays.
The Tower volunteers are always ready with a warm welcome and can advise about the history of the Tower, interesting sights to see in the city and historical information about Gloucester.
In the Tower you will find an exhibition on History of St Michael the Archangel church including a historical timeline dating back to before 1066.
Gloucester is famous for its bell founding industry, notably the Rudhall and Henshawe families. Two Rudhall bells forged in 1710 are on display and the bell tower holds a bell from High Wycombe that was cast in 1711. These can be chimed during your visit.
A range of films showing Gloucester through the ages are on show in the Tower.
Guided City Walks
The essential renovation work on the Tower means that for the start of the 2024 season, the Guided City walks will not be leaving from The Tower.
The walks will start from St Mary de Crypt in Southgate street.
From April 1st until September 30th, guided walks of the historic City are available everyday (except Sunday) at 11.00 am.
Walks cost £7 per adult, £3 for secondary school children and £2 for primary school children.
Meet your guide at St Mary de Crypt where you can buy tickets.
