The foundation stone of the St. Mary Magdalene church was laid on August 5, 1858, and the church was consecrated on March 13, 1860. However, additions such as the north nave, the tower and its spire and the south transseptal chapel made the construction of the church last until 1883.
The origins of Abbots Leigh and the Church of Holy Trinity are lost in the mists of time, but there are definite indications of a Celtic Settlement well before the Roman invasion. Later, the Saxons came and drove out or subjugated the Celts and settled in the area. A hermitage or small chapel was built nearby.
The Synagogue in Bristol is an Ashkenazi synagogue built in 1870-71 by architects Hyman Henry Collins and Samuel Charles Fripp. The synagogue was rebuilt in 1921. This brick building still serves as a synagogue.
From the 12th century this has been a place of daily prayer, and an extraordinary building, created for the glory of god.
