St Mary Redcliffe - old church located in the city center of Bristol in the UK. This church, built in the XII-XV centuries, is known as one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture. Queen Elizabeth I called her beautiful church in the kingdom. Church spire rises to 89 meters, and still the church is the tallest building in Bristol.
The first Christian church on the site dates back to the Saxon times, when the port of Bristol just built. The high steeple of St. Mary Radcliffe has served as a beacon for ships, sailors prayed at the church before sailing and upon his return.
The oldest parts of the church date back to the XII century, but mainly exists today was built in the period from 1292 to 1370. Many notable and well-known family of Bristol gave large sums of money for the construction and decoration of the church, as evidenced by the plaques. The original stained glass windows almost did not survive, those stained-glass windows that adorn the church now made in Victorian times by the best masters of that time.
