This Norman church is Bristol’s earliest surviving building. The priory was founded in 1129 by Robert, Earl of Gloucester, who also built a great stone castle for Bristol. When the priory was dissolved, the nave of its church was spared, as it had become a parish church. It is now a Catholic church, open for silent prayer. It is run by the Little Brothers of Nazareth together with the St James Priory Project for homeless people with a substance dependency.
