The building is the old St Mary's Parish Hall and the Hannah More Memorial, built in 1912. It is now converted to residential use.

The church was rebuilt and expanded in the 1860s, with much of the work in Perpendicular Gothic Revival style. Grade II listed.

St Mary's church began life as a small chapel of ease called Trinity Chapel. When the church and parish were altered in the 1860s, an large renovation and expansion were carried out. The south porch was blocked and the west tower door used instead, and perhaps the clock installed at this point. The latter is made by J.H. Allis of Small Street, Bristol. Grade II listed.

The trees have begun to wake up after Winter but the daffs are starting to go over.

There is an OS benchmark Image on a corner stone of the chapel on the pathside face.

Built in the early twentieth century, the imposing building was sold off and is now a pub.

The graveyard contains many small tombstones, along with a few more traditional sizes.

This parish church started life in 1820. The parish of Stapleton (then outside Bristol's reach) had expanded and a new place of worship was deemed necessary. A small plot was bought in 1806 for £170 and a chapel of ease built in 1821. Consecrated on St Aidan’s Day, 31st August, 1821, it was known as Trinity Chapel. By the early 1860s, Fishponds was created a parish in its own right as the area grew quickly. Trinity Church became the Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin on 14th December, 1869; Bristol's boundaries swallowed Fishponds in 1897.

The gate is part of Fishponds Park, although the latter is a late arrival to the parish.

The milestone indicates 3 miles to Bristol, and has a weathered Ordnance Survey cut mark benchmark below the mileage plate. The stone and benchmark are over 100 years old, both shown on the 1882 map. The mark is described on the Bench Mark Database at http://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm48021
