  • Lewin's Mead is an area of Bristol, England and part of the historic centre of the city, lying just outside of the former medieval town walls. Several old buildings survive, including the Unitarian Chapel constructed in the late 18th century, an old sugar house, now a hotel and restaurant and the ancient thoroughfare known as Christmas Steps. The 13th century St Bartholomew's Hospital which became Bristol Grammar School in the 16th century is situated at the bottom of Christmas Steps. In the 19th century Lewin's Mead, at that time regarded as a slum, became the site for the first ragged school founded by Mary Carpenter, who was the daughter of the minister of the Unitarian Chapel. The area is now dominated by tall office blocks and is split by busy main roads. Some of the damage done by 1970s and 1980s development may now be ameliorated under a scheme being considered by Bristol City Council.
