More about this scene
In 1542 Henry VIII created the diocese of Bristol, and the former church of the Augustinian priory was elevated to the rank of cathedral. The building underwent considerable restoration and remodelling between 1868 and 1888, including the construction of the nave and the west towers. Older parts include the Elder Lady Chapel (1210-1215) and the choir (1298-1363).

When his business closed for reasons I have yet to find out, the shop was taken over by by grandad's sister and brother-in-law, Sidney & Mary Caplin. They ...see more
I was a 'Red Maid' from 1966-72, and at the end of November it was 'Founder's Day' commemorating the founding of the school by John Whitson in 1634.
