Bristol church repair opens door to Edward Colston exhumation

Diocese holds consultation on future of long-closed city centre site thought to be slave trader's burial place

Work is about to begin repairing an unused city centre church in Bristol, which is believed to be the burial place of the slave trader Edward Colston.

After the work on the roof of All Saints is completed, the building may be deconsecrated, turned into a community resource and the remains of Colston could be removed.
