St Mary Redcliffe
St Mary Redcliffe is a large Gothic parish church near Bristol's harbour. Its lofty interior and vaulted Undercroft reward a dedicated visit, with services and private ceremonies affecting access.
The church grew over several medieval centuries, so its porches, nave and tower show different parts of Gothic design. Inside, historic memorials tie the building to Bristol's seafaring past. The vaulted Undercroft adds another layer beneath the main church, revealing a different side of the building.
