ALFReD of Beverley mentions Gloucester by its British name of Cuer Glow, as being one of the twenty-eight cities built by the original inhabitants of our island, before the invasion of the Romans, who called it Glevum and Claudiocestria. By the Saxons it was called Gleawcestre and Glowecester. According to the « Memorial of Gloucester," a bishop and some assistant ministers planted the Christian faith in this city, as early as the year of our Lord 189, at the desire of King Lucius, who, tradition says, was buried here. It must be confessed, however, that this account of the early origin of the city and see of Gloucester is not based upon any undoubted records.
