BRISTOL<br />
CATHEDRAL<br />
BRISTOL<br />
Bristol’s beautiful and<br />
historic Cathedral is located<br />
on College Green in the<br />
<strong>West</strong> End of the city. A<br />
church has almost certainly<br />
stood on the site for over a<br />
thousand years, but it came<br />
to prominence in 1140 when<br />
Robert Fitzhardinge founded<br />
the Abbey of St Augustine.<br />
The Chapter House and<br />
Abbey Gatehouse remain<br />
clear to see, and the other<br />
remains are to be found<br />
within Bristol Cathedral<br />
School. The eastern end of<br />
the Cathedral, especially<br />
in the choir, gives Bristol<br />
Cathedral a unique place in<br />
the development of British<br />
and European architecture.<br />
The nave, choir and aisles are<br />
all the same height, making<br />
Bristol Cathedral the major<br />
example of a hall church in<br />
<strong>Great</strong> Britain and one of the<br />
finest to be found anywhere<br />
in the world.<br />
