From the Wikipedia article

St Werburgh's Church is a former Church of England parish church, now an indoor climbing centre, located in the St Werburgh's area of Bristol, England. Originally a medieval structure situated on the corner of Corn Street and Small Street in the old city, the building was dismantled and rebuilt at its current site in Mina Road in 1879 as part of a redevelopment project. It has been designated on the National Heritage List for England as a Grade II* listed building. The church is includes a Perpendicular Gothic tower, which dates to the late 14th century and was carefully preserved and moved stone-by-stone during a 19th-century relocation. The surrounding area, previously known as Baptist Mills, adopted the name St Werburgh's following the church's consecration at the new site. After declaring the church redundant, the Diocese of Bristol deconsecrated the building in 1988. In 1992, it was converted into one of the United Kingdom's first indoor climbing centres, originally known as Undercover Rock. The facility has since changed ownership, passing to The Climbing Academy (TCA) in 2016 and the Flashpoint Climbing Group in 2025.
