Bishopsworth is a suburban neighbourhood and electoral ward of the city of Bristol. It is located in the south of the city and has a high proportion of council housing.[1] Local facilities include shops and pubs, a public library, community arts centre and an indoor skate park.

Bishopsworth electoral ward contains the Bedminster Down, Headly Park, Highridge and Uplands areas, and had a population of 12,274 at the 2021 census.[2] Historically, as a civil parish separate from Bristol, Bishopsworth contained Hartcliffe and Withywood, and colloquially those are often still considered areas of Bishopsworth, though they are not within the current electoral ward.

History

Bishopsworth was historically the tything of Bishport in the parish of Bedminster in Somerset.[3] The rural southern parts of Bedminster became the civil parish of Bedminster Without from 1894 to 1898, when that parish was abolished and most of it became the new civil parish of Bishopsworth.[4] Large parts of the civil parish were absorbed into Bristol in 1930 and 1933, and the civil parish was abolished on 1 April 1951 and merged with Bristol, parts went to Long Ashton and Dundry.[5] In 1931 the parish had a population of 1,866.[6]

In 1928 the ecclesiastical parish of Bedminster Down was created from the north of Bishopsworth in response to the development of the area. The ecclesiastical parishes of Hartcliffe and Withywood were separated off more recently.

Church

St Peter's Church, Bishopsworth

The first church in Bishopsworth was a small chapel dedicated to St Peter and St Paul built under an arrangement in 1194 between Robert Arthur, lord of the manor, and George de Dunster, prebendary of Bedminster. The agreement provided for a chaplain to visit from Bedminster on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. This provision continued until dissolution in 1540. The chapel was converted into three cottages which stood until the Corporation demolished them in 1961 to make way for a swimming pool, which was built in the early 1970s. The pool has since been converted into a skate park, Campus Pool.

The present St Peter's Church, was built in 1841–1843. The neo-Norman design was the work of Samuel Charles Fripp.[7] It is a grade II* listed building.[8]

Bishopsworth Manor

Bishopsworth Manor

Bishopsworth Manor was built around 1720 and is grade II* listed.[9] It was owned in the 1970s and 1980s by the late Denis Bristow who restored much of it to its present state.

Other listed buildings

The School House and attached school rooms in church road were built around 1840 in a Tudor Revival style and is grade II listed.[10] Chestnut Court dates from the early 18th century in an early Georgian style.[11]

Headley Park

Headley Park housing estate was built in the east of Bishopsworth between 1934 and 1938.[12] The area is served by The Maytree public house and Headly Park Church, originally known as Crossways Tabernacle.[13]

The ward was created in 1974, initially represented by three members on Bristol City Council and one member on Avon County Council.[18] Its boundaries were adjusted in 1981, 1999 and 2016.[19][20][21] In the 2016 boundary changes, Withywood transferred from Bishopsworth to the new Hartcliffe and Withywood ward.[21]

Electron counting

Formalism used for classifying compounds In chemistry, electron counting is a formalism for assigning a number of valence electrons to individual atoms in a molecule. It is used for classifying compounds and for explaining or predicting their electronic structure and bonding.[1] Many rules in chemistry rely on electron-counting: Octet rule is used with Lewis structures for main group elements, especially the lighter ones such as carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen, 18-electron rule[2]...
