Administrative / biographical background

Abbots Leigh is an ancient parish. It had always enjoyed certain parochial rights and was regarded as a parish church, although, until 1852 it was a chapelry of the parish or manor of Bedminster; by an Order-in-Council dated the 19th July 1837 Bedminster, then in the diocese of Bath and Wells, was to be transferred to the diocese of Bristol [1845]; Abbots Leigh had been in the diocese of Bristol since 1542 and was given independent parochial status by an Order-in-Council date the 16th October 1852.
