West Towers of the Cathedral

Robert FitzHardinge founded the Abbey of the Black Canons of St. Augustine in 1140 in the fields to the west of the town, and it was ready for its dedication in 1146. Between 1306 and 1132 the Abbot was Abbot Knowle who started an extensive rebuilding of the Abbey for it was falling into disrepair. He rebuilt the choir, aisles, Lady Chapel, Berkeley Chapel and the Sacristy. Since those days the Cathedral has undergone much rebuilding and alteration. The last being the two towers built in 1888.
