St. Mary de Lode, Gloucester
The word Lode is derived from an old English word meaning a water course or ferry. In this case it refers to a ferry that once crossed the river. At the time of building, there was a branch of the river to the west of the church, which no longer exists.
The Church is almost definitely the oldest parish church in the city, and according to local legend it was the burial place of Lucius, a king of Britain that established a bishopric in Gloucester in the second century.
The church lies to the west of the cathedral and is surrounded by blocks of apartments.
