St Peter and St Paul, Bristol, Greek Orthodox church in Lower Ashley Road, Bristol, England
St Peter and St Paul is a Greek Orthodox church in Lower Ashley Road featuring a distinctive structure with a modified spire. Inside, it contains a nave, chancel, north aisle, and a chapel.
The building was constructed in the 1840s as the Church of St Simon, designed by architects S.J. Hicks and S.B. Gabriel. It became a Greek Orthodox church in 1978.
The Greek Orthodox community grew from sailors who arrived through Bristol's port and settled in the area. You can sense this maritime heritage in how the congregation uses and maintains the chapel today.
The church holds regular services and welcomes both Greek Orthodox members and visitors. It is best to check opening times before visiting to ensure the building is accessible.
The churchyard wall includes coping blocks made from copper-slag, the same material found at the nearby Black Castle Public House. This detail reveals how local industrial materials shaped the neighborhood's construction.
