About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Founded in the late 880s or the 890s, by Ætherlfleda, daughter of Alfred the Great, and her husband Æthelred, ealdorman of Mercia. the priory soon declined into obscurity. Late in the reign of King Cnut, its estates were used as an endowment for a royal clerk. In 1089, Serlo, the Norman abbot of the original St Peter's Abbey, began an ambitious new church (later Gloucester Cathedral) to replace the old minster, and St. Oswald's, its emoluments much reduced, became a minor house of Augustinian canons. The monastery was suppressed in 1536, and became the parish church of St. Catherine, but this was destroyed in a Civil War siege in 1643.
