The Fleece Hotel, Grade I listed hotel in Westgate Street, Gloucester, England

The Fleece Hotel features a timber-framed structure from the 15th century, incorporating a 12th-century stone undercroft on Westgate Street in Gloucester.

The establishment opened in 1497 as one of three major inns in Gloucester, serving pilgrims who visited the tomb of Edward II of England.

The undercroft of the hotel, named the Monk's Retreat, represents the architectural transformation from a merchant's house to a medieval hospitality establishment.

The property underwent extensive restoration efforts after 2011 when Gloucester City Council acquired it to prevent further deterioration of the historic structure.

Dendrochronology studies in 2017 dated the building to 1476, revealing that the front section initially contained shops with living spaces above rather than inn facilities.
