Bristol Cathedrals & ChurchesMuch more than a fascinating building, it is a centre of Bristol’s history, civic life and
culture. Founded as an abbey in 1140, it became a cathedral in 1542 and developed architecturally throughout
the ages. It is one of the finest examples of a ’hall church’ anywhere in the world. One of the most beautiful churches in all England and one of the best examples of medieval
architecture in the country. St Mary Redcliffe church was founded in the 13th century and built over a period
of 200 years by the merchants of Bristol. Described by Queen Elizabeth I as ’the goodliest, fairest and most
famous parish church in England’. | ||
