This is such a stunning and beautiful church! Hidden away in the old city walls of Bristol, it was amazing to see this open. Built circa 1174, that is 12 years prior to the official founding of Bristol, this church is amazing. You can see it is steeped with history. It was used as a church for nearly 900 years! I saw some signs in the church from 1874, so the church was still in use until then. It has a few tombs and doesn’t have much space. It is currently under renovation but still available to visit. The architect is very beautiful, and very well kept for these 900 years . Amazing

An absolutely fascinating part of Bristol history. We were lucky to be shown around by one of the lovely volunteers who told us about the history and also showed us how the bell is operated. I had family from Germany visiting and this impromptu visit turned out to be a highlight of the day. Thank you so much. I can only recommend a visit!

This a beautiful medieval church in the old city wall in Bristol city centre with a lot of history. Besides the massive church organ and a fantastic bell tower the church also has a crypt which is sometimes open for public viewing!

  • Stella Chapple

Visited this Church as part of Bristol Open Doors. Was not disappointed. A step back in time and well looked after by the Churches Conservation Trust. Also descovered the very old churchyard tucked away in Taylors Court.

Beautiful church with an interesting design as it is built into the medieval wall. The simple, smaller interior invites peace and reflection.

A tiny piece of history in the centre of town. Interesting but very small so it is quick to go around.
