Anglican cathedral on College Green in central Bristol, built on the site of a 12th-century abbey and re-founded as a cathedral in 1542. The Norman chapter house and the rare hall-church choir (where the nave, choir, and aisles all reach the same height) are the architectural features most worth a stop.
