St. Michael’s Church was founded as part of the Church of England in 1718. It stands at the northwest corner of the intersection of of Hope and Church Streets. During the Burning of Bristol in 1778, the church building was destroyed. It has since been rebuilt multiple times, with the current building dating to 1860. After the war, with the other Anglican churches in America, St. Michael’s Church split off to form the Episcopal Church.
