St Werburgh's Church, Bristol, Grade II* listed church in St Werburghs, Bristol, England

The limestone church features a five-stage tower with an octagonal stair turret and stands prominently on Mina Road in Bristol.

The original medieval church from Corn Street was relocated to its current location in 1879, incorporating parts of the original tower in the new construction.

The building represents the transformation of religious spaces, as it evolved from a traditional church to become Bristol's first indoor climbing center in 1988.

The indoor climbing facility offers top-rope climbs, bolted lead routes, and bouldering areas within the preserved church structure, with equipment rentals available.

During the church's relocation in 1879, workers discovered and transferred 100 coffins and 40 chests of human remains to Greenbank Cemetery.

Location: City of Bristol
