Who are we?
St Edyth’s is an evangelical Anglican church on the west side of Bristol. We have a diverse congregation from many different backgrounds and church traditions, and all are welcome to join us.
The church was built at around the same time as the surrounding suburb, in the 1930s. It continues to serve the local community through its services, groups and events, and through its interaction with the community.
