What reading level is Bristol a Historical And Topographical Account of the City book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
John to the west, but it was 205 Bristol destroyed in 1580, and its parish united with St. John's. Two other churches once stood on the wall — that of St. Giles, destroyed, according to Worcester, as early as 1319, over the gate at the bottom of Small Street; and St. Leonard's, in a similar position at the foot of Corn Street. The latter was not removed until 1766, when its parish was joined to that of St. Nicholas. Its crypt still remains beneath the neighbouring houses.
We have seen that in t...he twelfth century a suburb had already grown up outside the old walls to the west, and at an early date the church of St. Stephen was built beyond the Frome for the accommodation of its people. The church was entirely rebuilt between 1450 and 1490 at the joint cost of the abbey of Glastonbury and the par- ishioners, and the lofty and ornate tower, which forms so conspicuous a feature in general views of the city, was added by John Shipward, who was mayor in 1453. This tower with its lofty over- sailing parapet and pinnacles of open work has received perhaps more admiration than its merits entitle it to.
