St Nicholas of Tolentino Church, Bristol
City of Bristol, United Kingdom
St Nicholas of Tolentino is a Roman Catholic parish church located at Lawford's Gate in Easton (or St Jude's), Bristol, England. Founded in 1848 to serve a growing population of impoverished Irish refugees settling the area, it is the oldest purpose-built Catholic church in the city. The building, originally designed by the architect Charles Francis Hansom, underwent significant expansion during the 19th century and an internal reordering between 2007 and 2009. In 2018, it became the first church in Bristol to be officially awarded Church of Sanctuary status for its work with asylum seekers and refugees.
