St Nicholas is a church in St Nicholas Street, Bristol, England. The first church was founded before 1154, with a chancel extending over the south gate of the city. The gate and old church were demolished to make way for the rebuilding of Bristol Bridge and the church was rebuilt in 1762-9 by James Bridges and Thomas Paty, who rebuilt the spire. Part of the old church and town wall survives in the 14th century crypt. The building has been designated as a grade II* listed building. * Central panel of the Hogarth triptych
