This is Winchester Road, Brislington. At first glance it is a perfectly typical nineteenth century street, but as the houses were being developed in 1899 the excavations brought up Roman articles. The consequential archaeology revealed an interesting villa, probably built around 270 A.D. and one of many like it in the Bristol area. It featured about ten room, a bath with a hypocaust and signs of a metal-working shop.

Brislington U.R.C. has a fine west face. It was built as a Congregational chapel before becoming the U.R.C. it is today. On the north-west corner is a benchmark - see Image The church itself began as a movement in 1796 and local meetings were held near the inn down the road. A small stone building was built by local man Thomas James but that became overcrowded. By 1881 there were enough people to form what was called the United Christian Church Brislington, along with an associated Sunday School. A fire in 1894 damaged the original chapel, which was rebuilt but the reorganisation of city boundaries (Brislington was previously a separate village from Bristol) encouraged the worshippers to build a far bigger church here in 1901. The Congregational Church became the United Reformed Church in 1972.
