Bristol Cathedral and Temple Church #cinematicfpv #england #cathedral

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : Take a first person view (FPV) drone tour of England's Bristol Cathedral, compliments of top contributor seb-depp. Considered one of the architectural and historical gems of the United Kingdom, the cathedral sits in the heart of Bristol, the largest city in the South West England region. Dating to the 12th century, it originally served as a monastery dedicated to St. Augustine. Over the years, the cathedral underwent numerous modifications, most recently with the addition of the two towers on its western side in the late 19th century.

The cathedral was founded as an abbey in 1140 and became a cathedral in 1542 after the abbey was closed. At that time the nave was incomplete and demolished. In the 19th century a Gothic Revival building went up and is what we see today. The oldest part is the chapter house from the 12th century. Uncommonly it's a hall church, meaning that the side aisles are the same height as the main aisle - only flying arches were inserted to give the impression of it being a basilica (where the side aisles are lower than the main one).Before going there I flew at the Temple Church which was started as a round church but later added on and made rectangular. In World War II it was bombed and later strengthened to keep standing. After visiting the cathedral I went back to go inside the temple church but it was still closed during official opening times - hm.
