St Stephen's Church, Bristol, Medieval parish church in Bristol's Old City, England
St Stephen's Church features a Somerset-style tower rising 152 feet with arcaded battlements, pinnacles, and twelve bells atop an 18 by 20-foot base.
Built on an 11th-century foundation, the church received its current form in 1350, with John Shipward financing the tower construction completed by mason Benedict Crosse in 1470.
The St Stephen's Ringers maintain a bell-ringing tradition since 1574, holding ceremonial gatherings at The Red Lodge to preserve this English musical practice.
The church holds Sunday worship services at 5 PM, with refreshments available from 4:45 PM in the café, plus Thursday lunchtime Eucharist at 12:30 PM.
The church contains burial sites of two individuals, Arnaq and Kalicho, brought from their homeland to Britain in 1577 and recorded as 'heathens' in church records.
