GBP2m crusade to breathe new life into hidden gem.
(From Western Daily Press)
Bristol's oldest church has seen many milestones in the city's history, from the time of the plague and the Civil War siege through to the nightmare of the Blitz.
Centuries ago, St James Priory was home to men and women living under religious vows and in recent years it provided respite for those recovering from addictions.
But time has taken its toll and the building has deteriorated rapidly.
Originally built in 1129 as a Benedictine priory, the building, between the Horsefair and bus station on Whitson Street, has been at the heart of the city. However, the Grade I-listed building has deteriorated so much that it has been listed on the English Heritage Buildings at Risk Register, prompting a GBP2 million campaign to restore it.
The Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) recently awarded a GBP3.2m grant to carry out vital repairs to the fabric of the main building - but funds are dependent on more people being able to access it.
Now, the trustees of St James are launching the St James Priory Heritage Appeal on June 10 with a VIP event at the Mansion House in Clifton to help raise the needed GBP2m.
