St Peter's is a ruined church in Castle Park, Bristol, England. It was bombed during World War II and is now preserved as a memorial. The foundation of the church can be traced back to 1106 when it was endowed on Tewkesbury Abbey,〔M Q Smith, The Medieval Churches of Bristol, University of Bristol (Bristol branch of the Historical Association), 1970, p. 4〕 with a 12th-century lower tower, the rest of the church being built in the 15th century. Excavations in 1975 suggest that this was the site of Bristol's first church; the 12th-century city wall runs under the west end of the present church. It was bombed in the Bristol Blitz of 1940 and ruined. It is maintained as a monument to the civilian war dead of Bristol. It has been designated by English Heritage as a grade II * listed building.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Images of England )〕 The church ran St Peter's Hospital, a very grand almshouse on St Peter's Street which was destroyed by bombing during the Bristol Blitz.〔Bristol and the New Poor Law, University of Bristol (Bristol branch of the Historical Association), 1995, p20.〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St Peter's Church, Castle Park, Bristol」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
