See inside St Mary's Gate.

Originally the entrance to St Peter’s Abbey and the place from which alms were distributed, this building dates from the 1200s. Now the Cathedral’s Learning and Participation hub, this is a rare opportunity to explore fascinating historical features such as the original alms hole and the upper room from which in 1555 the Dean and Chapter are said to have watched as Bishop Hooper was burnt at the stake outside.
