 The rural southern parts of Bedminster became the civil parish of Bedminster Without from 1894 to 1898, when that parish was abolished and most of it became the new civil parish of Bishopsworth.Large parts of the civil parish were absorbed into Bristol in 1930 and 1933, and the civil parish was abolished in 1951, when almost all of it was absorbed into Bristol.In 1928 the ecclesiastical parish of Bedminster Down was created from the north of Bishopsworth in response to the development of the area.
