Gloucester Folk Museum

The Folk Museum, now known as the Gloucester Life Museum, is housed in Tudor timber-framed buildings. One of them is traditionally associated with the last night of John Hooper, Bishop of Gloucester and Worcester, who was burned for heresy by Queen Mary in 1555.

The museum tells the social history of Gloucestershire and includes a reconstructed Victorian classroom.
