Historical Context<br />

The southern churchyard boundaries remain relatively unaltered from that<br />

shown in John Rocque’s 1742 plan of Bristol to present day. However,<br />

the northern boundary has moved a number of times, responding to the<br />

developing urban context. The plan adjacent illustrates these boundary<br />

changes.<br />

Key Points:<br />

- Chronology of historic landscape layouts<br />

- Often densely built-up north frontage, intimacy & enclosure<br />

- Seen obliquely, church was not conceived to be a formal isolated object<br />

- South churchyard qualities remains largely intact historically<br />
