St. Andrew's Church was a medieval church built c. 1100s that was occasionally remodeled throughout the centuries to accomodate a growing population, and is the site where John Wesley preached a sermon on Sunday May 13th, 1739. The church faced controversy in the 1700s over the lack of seating and the selling of pews for hefty prices.

The church was bombed during WWII on November 24th, 1940 by the Luftwaffe, leaving the church completely shelled and many of the tombstones and memorial in the churchard severely damaged. Almost all that remains of the church today is a memorial stone.

However, the churchyard with its tombs is a visitor's landmark today known as St. Andrew's Walk or the Birdcage Walk, with many surviving tombstones visible. It is located near the city of Bristol.
