St Mary le Port

St Mary le Port is a ruined parish church in the centre of Bristol. It's said to have been founded in Saxon times, and rebuilt and enlarged between the 11th and 16th centuries.
During the 19th and early 20th centuries the church was a very popular centre of evangelical, Protestant, and Calvinist teaching within Anglicanism.
The church was bombed in the Second World War on 24 November 1940. All that remains is the 15th century tower, a grade II listed building, which during the latter years of the 20th century was surrounded by the buildings of Norwich Union and the Bank of England.
A new building development was proposed in 2005.
