St John on the Wall itself was built in the 14th century and remains one of Bristol's most stunning pieces of architecture, literally representing an historic trip back through time, with the upper church and crypt remaining pretty much in its original, unaltered condition. One of the most iconic landmarks in the city, it's located under the archway which frames the end of Broad Street.
