Did you know that a former Mayor & Mayoress of Bristol climbed the spire of St. Mary Redcliffe church. The Mayor wore his civic regalia. Taken from
my book Churches of Bristol.
Did you know that Bristol has hundreds of plaques around the city. Not just blue, but red, green, black and other colours honouring local heroes and also a nationally known dog? See them in my book Bristol Plaques.
Would you climb the church spire to raise funds for the church heating? Well, the Rev. Dr. Brutus Green is doing just that at St. Mary Redcliffe church next week
The Rev. Brutus Green, vicar of St. Mary Redcliffe, Bristol. will be swapping his pulpit for the church spire on 2 June.
He'll be be making a sponsored climb to raise funds for SMR's heating system.
There hasn't been a book like it in Bristol for many years. My illustrated Churches of Bristol tells the story of historic churches including one that was moved stone by stone across Bristol and the one where slaver Edward Colston is buried @BristolCivic@Historic England
Discover the fascinating history of Bristol's churches which date back centuries in my easily accessible book Churches of Bristol, published by the Amberley Press. A lavishly illustrated book.
