Celebrating 200 Years with St Marys It is hard to believe but 200 years ago a small chapel was opened on the site of St Marys Church to serve the tiny hamlet of Fishponds. It was at that point part of the large Parish Church of Stapleton. It was called the Trinity Chapel (1821). Fishponds continued to grow around the small chapel and the church yard and this small chapel was then extended and added to and became St Marys in 1869. So this year in 2021 we celebrate the Bi Centennial of St Marys (Trinity Chapel) It has been a place of Christian worship in Fishponds, one that has seen baptisms, festivals, harvests, weddings and burials for 200 years. This is a place that speaks of both our deep connections to people of the past, but also is a chance to celebrate with this community today and to look forward to what might be the future of this church in Fishponds. On the weekend of Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th of September 2021 we will have a programme of an exhibition, tours, music, recitals, cream teas, colouring competitions and worship. We would love you to join us, celebrate with us. Save the date in your diaries. 8
