Within this architecturally exciting and varied cathedral there is stained glass from many periods and monuments from medieval to modern times. The latter contribute much to the history of the building which started life as St Augustine's Abbey, founded in 1140 by Robert Fitzharding, a friend of Henry I. At the time of the Reformation the monastery was suppressed and the nave destroyed, but three years later the remaining buildings were designated as a cathedral. Amid many turbulent events, the Bristol Riots of 1831, at the time of the Great Reform Bill, saw the total destruction of the Bishop's Palace.
All this - the monastery/cathedral's glorious architecture and chequered history - is recaptured in this beautifully illustrated account, thanks to the research of four local experts and the deft editing of Canon John Rogan. At last Bristol Cathedral has a study worthy of it - which can be savoured not only by visitors but anyone who values England's great architectural tradition.
