2. Think Rome was built on 7 hills. 3. Probably the date Cabot left Bristol for the Americas ( or the date he arrived). 5. 1373 was the date Bristol was given a Royal Charter, because we supplied a lot of soldiers at Agincourt. Think Bristol was given county status at that time as well. Remember celebrating the 600 anniversary in 1973. Can't help with others without research and the lawn needs cutting now!
