Little Cloister is a medieval monastic enclosure located in Gloucester. The site forms part of the wider complex associated with Gloucester Cathedral and its Benedictine monastery, which was established in the Anglo-Saxon period but substantially developed during the Norman and later medieval periods. The cloister garth and its surrounding ranges would have served as the heart of monastic life, providing a sheltered space for the community's daily activities and religious observance. The surviving remains reflect the architectural development of the site through successive medieval periods, with the structures showing evidence of construction and modification spanning several centuries of monastic occupation.
