The city of Gloucester has a proud and colourful history which is clearly illustrated through its two distinct coats of arms. The earliest version is often referred to as the Tudor Coat and was granted in 1538 during the reign of Henry VIII. The Commonwealth Coat was presented to the city in 1652 and finally granted again on April 16, 1945. | The city of Gloucester has a proud and colourful history which is clearly illustrated through its two distinct coats of arms.
