Frenchay, Gloucestershire is now a Bristol suburb to the north east of the city. It was once a village in its own right and still has many of the period houses and properties throughout.

Most Famous Landmarks in Frenchay

If you know about World War I, you have likely heard of the most famous landmark in the village. It was the home of Frenchay Hospital, which was expanded during the Great War by the U.S. Army. This was the place that soldiers were brought for treatment after the D-Day landings. It remained as functioning hospital throughout the decades, until it’s A&E closure in 2014. Despite all hopes of keeping the major burns unit open, it merged with a local hospital and the building is likely to be torn down.
Other landmarks include St. John the Baptist Anglican Church and the Quaker Meeting House, which is the oldest religious building in the area.

Home of a Chocolate Manufacturer

When you think of British chocolate, there are chances you consider Cadbury’s. However, Frenchay is the home of the company that made the first ever commercial chocolate bar throughout the world: J S Fry & Sons.

Joseph Storrs Fry was one of the Quaker merchants from Bristol, who made a home in Frenchay. Moving to the area in the 1800s, he helped to replace the old Quaker Meeting House with the one that still stands today.

The founder of Bristol blue glass manufacturing company Wadham, Ricketts & Co also moved to the area. John Wadham lived in Frenchay Manor House, another building that still exists.
