St Gabriel's Church, Bristol

About

St Gabriel's Church was a Church of England parish church located in Upper Easton, Bristol. It was designed by the architect J. Neale in an adaptation of the Early English Gothic style using polychrome brickwork characteristic of the Bristol Byzantine style.

The church was consecrated in 1870 to serve the growing industrial population of east Bristol. Following a period of redundancy and severe vandalism, the church was the subject of a planning controversy in 1975 when it was demolished by Bristol City Council days after being listed as a building of architectural interest by the Department of the Environment.
