Bristol Cathedral
Recommended by
Overview
Bristol Cathedral stands in the middle of Bristol's vibrant city centre. One of England's great medieval churches, the Augustinian abbey was founded here in the 12th century. For almost 900 years, the building has continued to be a place of sanctuary, prayer and music. Today the Cathedral boasts some of the most important medieval architecture in the UK - look out for the extraordinary Norman stone carving in the Chapter House, the medieval stained glass preserved in the cloister, the brightly coloured Eastern Lady Chapel, and the lofty arches and vaults which distinguish Bristol Cathedral as being of a medieval hall church design. With a rich programme of services and events, as well as shop, cafe and peaceful garden, Bristol Cathedral is a wonderful place to visit.
