St John the Baptist, Frenchay, Medieval church in Broad Street, Bristol, England
The church stands integrated into Bristol's city walls, featuring a tower and steeple positioned directly above the last remaining medieval gateway of the city.
Built between 1380 and 1400, the church contains the tomb of Walter Frampton, a three-time mayor of Bristol who passed away in 1388.
The interior displays seven painted panels by a Dutch artist, depicting religious figures including Saint Peter, Saint Matthew, and Saint John the Baptist.
Visitors can access the upper church through Broad Street entrance, while the crypt requires entering from Quay Street or Nelson Street level.
The church includes a medieval water fountain integrated into the north wall that supplied water to the Carmelite Friary for 700 years.
