Within the architecturally exciting and varied Bristol cathedral, there is stained glass from many periods and monuments from medieval to modern times. The building started life as St. Augustine's Abbey, founded in 1140. At the time of the Reformation, the nave was destroyed, but 3 years later the remaining buildings were designated as a cathedral.
