Bristol, the largest city inSouth West England, has aneclecticcombination of

architecturalstyles, ranging from themedievalto 20th centurybrutalismand beyond.

During the mid-19th century,Bristol Byzantine, an architectural style unique to the city,

was developed, and several examples have survived.

Buildings from most of thearchitectural periodsof the United Kingdom can be seen

throughout Bristol. Parts of the fortified city and castle date back to themedieval era, as

do some churches dating from the 12th century onwards. Outside the historical city

centre there are several largeTudormansions built for wealthy merchants.Almshouses

andpublic housesof the same period survive, intermingled with areas of more recent

development. SeveralGeorgian-era squares were laid out for the enjoyment of the

middle class. As the city grew, itmergedwith its surrounding villages, each with its

own character and centre, often clustered around aparish church.

The construction of the city'sfloating harbour, taking in the wharves on theRiver AvonandFrome, provided a focus for industrial development and the growth of the local

transport infrastructure. Key elements of which include theIsambard Kingdom Brunel

designedClifton Suspension BridgeandTemple Meads terminus; the latter served from

2002 to 2009 as theBritish Empire and Commonwealth Museum, but is now closed

pending a planned move to London.[1]

The 20th century saw further expansion of the city, the growth of theUniversity of

Bristoland the arrival of the aircraft industry. During World War II, thecity centre

suffered from extensive bombing during theBristol Blitz. The redevelopment of

shopping centres, office buildings, and the harbourside continues to this day.

Defensive

The city was defended in medieval times byBristol Castle, aNormanfortification built

on the site of a wooden predecessor. The castle played a key role in the civil wars that

followed the death ofHenry I.Stephen of Bloisreconnoitred Bristol in 1138 and

claimed that the town was impregnable.[2]After Stephen's capture, in 1141, he was

imprisoned in the castle.[3]The castle was later taken into royal hands,[4]andHenry III

spent lavishly on it, adding abarbicanbefore the main west gate, a gate tower, and a

magnificent hall.[5]By the 16th century, the castle had fallen into disuse, but the city

authorities had no control over royal property, and so the castle became a refuge forlawbreakers. In 1630, the city purchased the castle;Oliver Cromwellordered its

destruction in 1656.[6]An area outside the castle, known asOld Market, was used as a

mustering point for troops. It later became a market for the country people to set up

stalls and sell their wares. Old Market was also the site of an autumn fair.[7]The market

may have existed as early as the 12th century, and was the site of the first suburb

outside the city walls. It had side roads which could accommodate the traffic on market

days.[8]

The city had extensive walls built byGeoffrey de Montbray, Bishop of Coutances.

These have now largely disappeared, although parts remain on properties inKing Street.

Fitzharding, along with its associatedschool, with the building works continuing in the

Gothic style until about 1420.St Mark's Churchwas built around 1220.[16]Soon after,

century also saw the foundation ofSt Mary Redcliffe,[18]renowned as one of the finest

examples of the 15th centuryPerpendicular style, and the tallest building in the city.

famous parish church in England".[19]These 12th-century churches were followed in the

Church.[21]

throughBristol Harbour.Red Lodgewas constructed in 1580 for John Yonge as the

lodge for a great house that once stood on the site of the presentColston Hall.[24]In

1615, a number of houses were demolished for the development of the new Fishmarket.

During theEnglish Civil War, theRoyal Fortwas considered the strongest part of

Bristol's defences, and it was to the fort that theRoyalistsretreated when they found

themselves under siege from theParliamentarians. It fell to the parliamentary forces in

1645 and was subsequently demolished.[26]St Nicholas's Almshouseswere built in

1652[27]to provide care for the poor. Several public houses were also built in this period,

including theLlandoger Trow[28]onKing Streetand theHatchet Inn.[29]More churches

were built, includingSt Michael on the Mount Without.[30]It served the St Michaels hill

area, one of the first areas outside the city walls to be colonised by the wealthy

merchants who were by then trying to escape the overcrowded and unhealthy conditions

in the city centre.[8]The city was by this time beginning to expand rapidly beyond its

traditional city walls, and the surrounding villages were starting to become suburbs,such as the villages ofHorfieldandBrislington. Both had their own churches, the

Church of the Holy Trinity with St Edmund[31]andSt Lukes[32]respectively.
