BishopsworthBishopsworth is a largely residential suburb in south Bristol, England, which was formerly a civil parish. Bishopsworth was historically the tything of Bishport in the parish of Bedminster in Somerset. 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. Large parts of the civil parish were absorbed into Bristol in 1930 and 1933, and the civil parish was abolished in 1951, when almost all of it was absorbed into Bristol. 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. Bishopsworth has an estimated population of 11, 444 people (2001 Census). Its municipal services are run by Bristol City Council whilst its local health services are managed by the Bristol South and West Primary Care Trust.
