Info
St Paul's Church, on St Paul's Road, Clifton, is an Anglican parish church and was formerly the University of Bristol Church, in the North Bristol Deanery of the Diocese of Bristol. The church is one of two in the Benefice of St Paul's and Cotham, Richard Holroyd being the current incumbent.
The current building largely dates from 1867, when it was rebuilt following a fire, using a variety of stones. The architect was Charles Hansom, who lived locally at the time, following his work on Clifton College. The church is listed Grade II and is notable for its stained glass windows and mosaics lining the walls, and especially the reredos.
In March 2012 the church was awarded a grant from English Heritage to repair the roof. A major factor in this, according to English Heritage, is that the mosaics and windows are of national importance.
