We Are Gathered Here

An unusual and atmospheric art installation will be available to view in the beautiful ancient St Nicholas' Church.

The We Are Gathered Here art installation will depict a congregation in silhouette and pays homage to the people who have contributed to Westgate Street’s heritage over time. These wonderful artworks bringing past residents to life have been created by Art students from Gloucestershire College. The people represented have been selected based upon archival research.  They once lived, worked, visited or supported Westgate Street at various times in the past. This installation demonstrates the long history of the Street and its importance as a place of trade throughout the ages.

The art installation will be open to view for 5 days and is a partnership between Gloucestershire Family History Society, Gloucester Civic Trust and the Churches Conservation Trust. It is supported by Voices Gloucester and Nicks Timber.
