The Cathedral Church of St. Peter and the Holy and Indivisible Trinity is the full name.. William the Conqueror ordered the construction of the present building in 1089. The cathedral is the burial place of the man who composed the American national anthem. Organist and musician John Stafford-Smith was born and educated in Gloucester and composed the music in 1780. The words to The Star-Spangled Banner were written and set to Stafford Smith’s music in 1812 by Frances Scott Key after a British attack on Baltimore. In 1216 King Henry III was crowned in the Cathedral when he was only nine years of age. King Edward II's tomb can be found in the North Ambulatory of the Cathedral. He was murdered in Berkeley Castle in 1327. The Cathedral was used as a location in the film Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. The stunning Cloisters were transformed into interiors at Hogwarts School – and pupils from Gloucester’s King’s School appeared as extras.
