“Contested heritage” – St Mary Redcliffe – Law & Religion UK

Following the events which led to the statue of Edward Colson being thrown into Bristol harbour on 7 June 2020, the St Mary Redcliffe PCC and the Diocese of Bristol took the decision to remove the four panels at the bottom of the church’s “Good Samaritan” window in the North Transept. The panels bore the name of Edward Colston, his emblem and his motto “Go and do thou likewise” (Luke 10:37).
