Churches and Cathedrals in Greenbank

"This 11th-century structure has been an important aspect of the history and culture of Bristol for a long time. It’s been rebuilt and repaired several times, which has added to its beauty and glorious outward and inward appearance. It also contains tombs, burials, and monuments that may be of interest to you."

"This church seems slightly out of place, hiding away in its own garden right off busy Corn St in the city centre. The fairly small but incredibly pretty building was first built in 1248, was rebuilt 1470 and again in 1703, after a lot of damage caused by the Great Storm."

"Your interest towards spiritual places will get a new encouragement if you visit the Manvers Street Baptist Church and Open House Centre. The church looks truly beautiful and its structure carries a great architectural importance. Prayer and celebration are two sides of the church that you will observe here."

"You can find this church at South Parade, which is a central location in the city of Bath. It holds more than 150 years of history and offers a quiet and conducive atmosphere for all kinds of people to stay. Outside of the church, you can see how it dominates the skyline and is different from other buildings because of the gothic style."

"When Queen Elizabeth I visited Bristol in 1574, she described St. Mary Redcliffe as "the fairest parish church in England." Built in the 13th century and extensively renovated in the 15th century in the Baroque style, the church is located on the south side of Floating Harbour and takes its name from the red cliffs on which it stands. With its slender, clustered pillars and reticulated vaulting, hexagonal porch, and richly decorated doorway, it perfectly displays the wealth of Bristol's rich merchants. A great triptych, Sealing The Tomb, designed and executed for the main altar by William Hogarth, is now at the offices of the Bristol & Region Archaeological Services in the former St. Nicholas Church."

"St. Mary Redcliffe Church is elegant and rich in cultural and historic value, considered a shining example of Gothic architecture. The exterior of the 800-year-old church is modest which is in contrast to the interior, that, while unadorned by paintings or frescoes, has a dramatic design. The ceiling alone is made up of impressive geometrical forms while the rest of it is long, narrow, and tall, with rib vaulting that starts from the base of the columns and accentuates the space’s verticality."

"This beautiful church, situated on Redcliffe Hill, is a pure masterpiece of Gothic architecture. Over 800 years old, the building boasts impressive ironwork, incredible stained glass windows and a infamous organ. Even just admiring this building from the outside is inspiring."

"Bristol Cathedral does not have quite the fame of other Cathedrals in South West cities – Bath Abbey, Exeter Cathedral and Salisbury Cathedral are far more dramatic – but it’s still an interesting place to visit. The Cathedral was consecrated in 1148, and a small part of the building still dates from the 12th century, with the Elder Lady Chapel dating from the 13th century. The rest of the building was built in the 14th century with significant restoration in the 19th century."

"Be sure to visit the Cathedral; responsible for giving Wells its city status back in Medieval times. The nearby Bishop’s Palace and Gardens is also worth a visit. There are 14 acres of tranquil garden to explore. For more history, take a stroll down Vicar’s Close; one of the oldest residential street in the whole of Europe."
