The history of Bristol's cathedral dates
back to the twelfth century, when Robert
Fitzhardinge, Provost of Bristol and ancestor of
the Earls of Berkeley, founded an Augustinian
abbey overlooking the river on the supposed site
of St. Augustine's meeting with the Celtic
Christians in the seventh century. Like many of
the country's great churches, it took many
centuries to assume its current form. It would
have been a church of reasonably modest scale,
although of some importance, when it was first
built in about 1140. The design and detail of the
masonry are quite spectacular, and a beautiful
example of the skill of some early church masons.
The picture depicts The Sanctuary and High Altar.
