MenuRedcliffe, Somerset
Redcliffe is an urban area in central Bristol, lying on the south bank of the old course of the River Avon in Somerset. Once part of the manor of Bedminster, by the 13th century Redcliffe was a town to rival Bristol. Henry III granted a charter (1247) incorporating Redcliffe into the town of Bristol. St Mary's Redcliffe, dating from 1185, is an outstanding example of English Gothic architecture. The ruined Temple Church is on the site of a previous, round church of the Knights Templar, built on land granted to them in the 12th century by Robert of Gloucester. Temple Meads railway station (1840) was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Redcliffe is within the council area of Bristol.
