St Mary de Lode Church, Gloucester

[7] A tomb effigy in the north wall of the chancel formerly pointed out as marking the grave of King Lucius is of fourteenth-century date, and shows a tonsured priest, perhaps William de Chamberleyn who was vicar in 1302–5.

[8][2] In March 1643 and also in 1646, during the English Civil War, the church was used as a prison to hold royalist soldiers captured by Sir William Waller and Lieut.

The nave was rebuilt in 1826 in early Gothic Revival style with cast iron columns, by James Cooke, a local monumental mason.

There is an octagonal pulpit, apparently made up of fifteenth-century carved wooden panels, and an eighteenth-century organ brought in 1972 from the now-redundant church of St Nicholas, Westgate Street.

[2][9][10] There are stained glass windows commemorating the Royal Gloucestershire Hussars and the Gloucester poet Ivor Gurney.
