Bristol Cathedral

Bristol Cathedral

Visited October 2017

Bristol Cathedral was founded in the 12th Century and, like most old buildings, has been added to and lost parts over the centuries. 

The cathedral is smaller than some, so don't go expecting a huge building like Canterbury. It has lovely parts including the quiet garden which opens off the café, and houses gravestones and memorials among the well-tended flowerbeds. Inside the building, there are memorials around the walls from the late Medieval period onwards. The north transept in particular has a large quantity of memorials of the 17th and 18th centuries.
