This old church is a patchwork of styles. It has Norman pillars at the west end, while the east end is 15th-century. The most striking feature though is its elegant Georgian tower, topped by a cupola. The church once housed Bristol’s oldest public library, created in 1464. Books were kept on chains in a room over the north aisle. Don’t miss the tomb of wealthy merchant Edward Colston, who died in 1721, with its memorial by the distinguished sculptor Michael Rysbrack.
