Efforts to preserve St Oswald's Priory in Gloucester are underway, thanks to a £20,000 grant from Historic England and additional support from the UK government's Shared Prosperity Fund. The initiative aims to enhance the landscape, install architectural lighting, and create informative panels to educate visitors. The priory, significant for being associated with Queen Æthelflæd, will undergo repairs, path upgrades, and increased security features against vandalism. Originally founded as a Minster church, it reflects early medieval religious architecture and has retained its cultural importance despite being in ruins.
"St Oswald's is one of the most historically important monuments in our city, and it's vital that we do all we can to protect and preserve it for present and future generations."
"St Oswald's is a fascinating monument that holds deep historical importance, serving not just as a site of worship but also as a link to our unique past."
