St Mary Redcliffe oldest part

The North inner porch dates from the 12th century. In the medieval period pilgrims, sailors and other travellers made offerings at the shrine of Our Lady inside the porch – hence the two side doors, to facilitate the flow of people. John Cabot and his crew probably came here to pray for safe passage before they departed and to give thanks when they returned.
