Briston All Saints' church
The tower fell down and was completely demolished in 1724 and a single bell turret was erected at a later date, rather than having the enormous expense of rebuilding the tower. The north aisle was also demolished but it is not certain whether the two events are connected.

Derelict house, Briston
Propped up, boarded up and waiting for someone to refurbish it, which I should think would be quite costly. Early 19C, I should think.

The organ, All Saints Church, Briston
Church organs are often in a loft, and can be overlooked by visitors. This one was made by Bishop & Sons in the 19C. This is the church that has a metal cello, made and played by the village blacksmith about 1700.
