What is recorded here
A Guild of Bristol Mariners founded in 1445 maintained a priest and twelve poor seamen. Their Chapel of St. Clement stood on this site. In 1553 the disused chapel became the Hall of the Society of Merchant Venturers. The Hall was rebuilt here in 1719. …
The Hall of the Merchant Venturers originated from the Chapel of St. Clement, which was established by the Guild of Bristol Mariners in 1445 and later repurposed in 1553 as the headquarters of the Society of Merchant Venturers. It is important as a symbol of Bristol's maritime and commercial history, and its association with influential trading organizations that shaped the city's economic development.
