Archaeologists in Gloucester, England, have made an exceptional discovery: a section of a medieval wall was discovered during restoration work on the territory of St. Oswald's Monastery.
The monastery was built in 900 by the eldest daughter of Alfred the Great, and over time it became the resting place of St. Oswald's relics. Until now, only part of the northern wall had been preserved, but the discovery allows us to imagine the scale of the structure.
Work began in March to improve the historical monument. As a result, it was removed from England's "list of monuments in danger". The stonework sections were also repaired, the appearance of the surrounding area was improved, and lighting and surveillance cameras were installed to protect the monument from nighttime vandalism.
Today, St. Oswald's Monastery is not only a historical heritage, but also a symbol that has received a new lease of life, at the center of Gloucester's cultural life.
