Read moreSaint Augustine's Abbey was built in 1140 and, by 1542, the building had expanded to form the new cathedral. A fine example of Gothic architecture, it boasts a sumptuous and imposing chapter house, the meeting place of the monks. The nave was destroyed in the 16th century, then rebuilt in the 19th century according to its original medieval plan. It forms a large, uniform hall with the choir and aisles, which are the same height. A must-see in Bristol. The gardens surrounding the church are equally beautiful.
