King is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This comprehensive handbook provides detailed descriptions, architectural histories, and biographical notes of the bishops associated with the cathedrals of the three cities. It serves as both a guide and an informative resource for those interested in the architectural and ecclesiastical heritage of these significant religious buildings.  At the start of the handbook, readers are introduced to Gloucester Cathedral's rich history, detailing its transition from a Benedictine abbey to a cathedral after the Dissolution of the Monasteries. The narrative provides insight into the architectural elements and the series of restorations and constructions carried out under various abbots and bishops over the centuries. It highlights key architectural features, such as the impressive nave and the intricate details of the choir, while also touching on significant historical events associated with the cathedral, including its role in various parliamentary assemblies and the burial of notable historical figures like King Edward II.
