St Mary's church has been part of the parish of Fishponds for many centuries and is accessible from the main road. In the nineteenth century, the small public park was established in the grounds before the church. Retained in the wall is an old milestone, denoting it is 3 miles to Bristol (note that in the past Bristol's boundary was further southwest of here). See Image] for a look at the benchmark on the milestone.
