Westgate Street and St Nicholas' Church
St Nicholas is now in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. 'This Medieval church was built for merchant traders beside Gloucester’s (now vanished) west gate. The church is a city landmark, known for its leaning, truncated white stone spire. Damage was caused to the spire by a direct hit by Royalist troops during the Siege of Gloucester in 1643 – and it is now topped with an attractive coronet. The existing church dates back to the 12th century, though most of it was rebuilt in the 13th and larger windows were added later.' Link
