La iglesia parroquial de Frenchay, característica por su aguja, se encuentra junto a un gran terreno comunal y esta rodeada de casas de arquitectura típica de la región. Dentro de Frenchay se encuentra el campus principal de la Universidad del Oeste de Inglaterra -University of the West of England- antiguo Politécnico de Bristol. En sus cercanías hay un pequeño centro de negocios. Frenchay Park es un barrio contiguo, situado dentro de los límites de la ciudad de Bristol. Frenchay es, asimismo, la sede del célebre Hospital de Frenchay, muy utilizado durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial por el ejército americano. En él se atendieron a muchos soldados que habían participado en el desembarco de Normandía. A día de hoy, este hospital sigue siendo uno de los mayores de Bristol. Sus instalaciones han crecido en los últimos años, aunque aún se conservan edificios de la época de la guerra.

The suburb is situated between the B4058 road, which runs parallel to the M32 motorway, and the wooded River Frome valley. Frenchay's largest place of worship is the Anglican church of John the Baptist, adjacent to the large village common, which is overlooked by period houses. Also overlooking the common is the village school which dates from 1842. The village also contains a Catholic church, a Quaker Meeting House and a Unitarian chapel. The main campus of University of the West of England is situated in Frenchay, and there is a business park nearby. Frenchay is also home to Frenchay Hospital, greatly expanded during World War II for the US Army, which treated wounded soldiers returning from the D-Day landings in Normandy. Frenchay is still one of Bristol's major hospitals. Its facilities have been greatly extended in recent years, although wartime buildings are still much in evidence. The hospital is currently under threat of closure. Frenchay's earliest place of worship was the Quaker Meeting House. The present one dates from 1809, and it replaced an earlier one of 1670. Many Quaker merchants from nearby Bristol made their homes here, including Joseph Storrs Fry, the Quaker chocolate manufacturer, who styled his company J S Fry & Sons. He moved to Grove House (now Riverwood House) in 1800. He died in 1835 and is buried in the burying ground behind the Meeting House along with his wife and daughter, Pricilla. Frenchay Park, an adjacent suburb, is situated within Bristol city limits.
