Part of St Mark's church, on College Green, which all that remains of St Mark’s Hospital, founded c.1220 to feed 100 of the city’s poor. They were to be given one meal a day of pottage and bread. By the 15th century it was more like a monastery than a charity and therefore closed by Henry VIII in 1539 along with all the other monasteries. The Corporation of Bristol purchased it from the Crown. The photograph was taken at 2.15pm so the sundial is displaying the correct time.
