Bedminster Down is a suburban neighbourhood of Bristol, England, built largely in the 1930s. It extends from Bedminster to Ashton, Bishopsworth, Highridge and Uplands, and is a largely residential area. Bedminster Down is a middle-class area and some of the area is built over disused coal mines.

The Parish Church, built in 1927, is dedicated to St Oswald. [1] The Methodist church in the area shut down in August 2008. [2] The Methodist church consisted of two buildings, the main chapel and a church hall. The main chapel is currently in use as a community arts centre. [3]
