THE MEDIEVAL TOWNS, 499 Bristol affords us an example of a town whoseecclesiastical organization grew with the gradualincrease of the town, in a way which can be more orless clearly made out. Bristol was a member of theRoyal Manor of Barton. At an early date, probablyin Heptarchic times, a town grew up on the penin-sula between the river Avon and its tributary theFrome ; the existence of silver pennies of Ethelred theUnready, which were coined here, shows that it wasat that time a burgh with the usual privilege of amint. The reader will remember that it was theprincipal seaport of the western coast, andthe principal emporium of the slave-trade in Saxonmen, women, and children until Bishop Wulstansucceeded with difficulty in suppressing the nefarioustraffic. The Church of St. Peter is said by tradition tohave been the earliest church in Bristol ; and thereare reasons for thinking that it actually was thechurch provided by the Crown as lord of the manorfor the use of its tenants there.
