All Souls Service

Dedication of New Windows


At this time of year the church remembers those we love but see no more. This year, at a special service, St Mary Redcliffe will be remembering not just those who we know and wish to remember, but also those who were trafficked during the transatlantic slave trade. Four new window panels have been installed to replace those dedicated to the slave trader Edward Colston. These windows will be dedicated by the Bishop of Bristol. We will lament our history and commit ourselves to a different future. The address will be given by Peaches Golding, the Lord Lieutenant of Bristol. No tickets are being issued for the service. All are welcome and refreshments will be served after the service.

Wessex Archaeology has been on site this week to begin the first phase of the archaeological work on the north side of the church – in the area between the boiler room and car park - to investigate the potential for embedding ground plant associated with Air Source Heat Pumps in the churchyard.
