NEW INN AT GLOUCESTER
a timber framed building used as a public house, hotel and restaurant. It is the most complete
surviving example of a medieval courtyard inn with galleries in Britain. The announcement of
Lady Jane Grey's succession to the English throne was made from the Inn gallery in 1553.
The Inn was built in 1450[4] by John Twyning, a monk, as a hostelry for the former Benedictine
Abbey of St Peter. It is on the site of an earlier inn. After the dissolution of St Peter's the inn
passed to the Dean and Chapter of Gloucester Cathedral and was leased to various inn holders
until it was sold in 1858. Stories that the inn was built to provide lodgings for pilgrims to the
tomb of King Edward II were first recorded in the eighteenth century and may be incorrect.
