NOTES: Founded in 1140, this former Augustinian abbey church was elevated to cathedral status in 1542. The nave was rebuilt by George Edmund Street in 1868-1877. The towers on the west front were completed by Pearson in 1887-1888. The designs for fittings of the choir were part of a general scheme of restoration following Pearson's completion of the west towers and were undertaken between 1890 and 1904. This is possibly the drawing exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts, London, in 1897 (no. 1924, Rood screen, Bristol Cathedral).
