St Werburgh's Church, Bristol

It has been suggested that the dedication to an Anglo-Saxon princess, St Werburgh, could give the church a pre-Conquest foundation.

Parts of the original building, particularly the tower, were re-used in the construction of the new church under the direction of the architect John Bevan.

[4] The church held its last service on Remembrance Sunday in 1988,[8] after which it was de-consecrated and converted into Bristol's first indoor climbing centre called Undercover Rock.

The church is built of ashlar limestone in a Perpendicular Gothic Revival style, with an aisled nave and chancel, west porch and south-west tower.

The archive also includes records of the incumbent, churchwardens, parochial church council, charities, societies and vestry plus deeds.
