Pro-Cathedral of the Holy Apostles
Pro-Cathedral of the Holy Apostles, Catholic pro-cathedral in Bristol, England
The Pro-Cathedral of the Holy Apostles features a Georgian Palladian design with large statues of saints covering the stone columns throughout the building.
The foundation stone was laid in 1834 under Bishop Peter Augustine Baines, with construction challenges requiring reinforcement of foundations in 1843.
The building represented Catholic emancipation in Bristol, as prior to 1791, Roman Catholics had to worship in private houses or above public establishments.
The structure served as the Roman Catholic cathedral of Bristol from 1850 until 1973, when it was replaced by the Cathedral Church of SS Peter and Paul.
During World War II, the crypt was modified with blast walls to function as an air raid shelter during the Bristol Blitz.
