Originally St Mary's Church, it was founded in 1871 and is a Grade II listed building. Designs by the celebrated architect James Piers St Aubyn (his only church in Bristol) were difficult to create and not completed fully. A large spire was never constructed, partly due to concerns over the church's stability. In 1909 remedial work by John Bevan had to be made. In 1975, it was joined to other local parishes and was rededicated as St Saviour and St Mary, Cotham. The church served until 1976, when it was closed as a place of worship. It then became a storage facility for the B.B.C. for some time. In the mid 1990s, it was sold to a free-church community once again and is now the Woodlands Church.
