Founded in 1140, it became the seat of the bishop and cathedral of the new Diocese of Bristol in 1542. The cathedral has much of interest including unique architectural features, unusual memorials and a large historic organ. Bristol Cathedral was founded as St Augustine’s Abbey in 1140 by Robert Fitzharding, a wealthy local landowner and royal official.
