Map

Gracious ranges are grouped around the courtyard of this almshouse built in 1691. The clock and belfry mark its barrel-vaulted chapel. It was founded for the poor by Bristol merchant Edward Colston, who made a fortune from the slave trade. The 12 men and 12 women residents had to be Bristol-born and attend the chapel regularly. It still provides a home for elderly Bristolians, run by the Society of Merchant Venturers. So it is not generally open to the public.
