Established by Augustinian canons in 1140. Of the early Norman church little remains but the chapter house (1150-70). The chancel, aisles, and Lady chapel were built 1298-1330. What makes Bristol unusual for England is that the aisles are built to the same height as the choir, in the style common to the late German Gothic "hall church".

A medieval gem in the middle of modern Bristol, St John on the Wall Church was one of five churches built into the old city walls as a combination of spiritual refuge and defensive structure. It was intended as a place for travellers to say prayers before setting off on a journey - a reminder that travel in the medieval period could be a perilous exercise.
