About

Parkway Methodist Church is a Methodist church located in Conduit Place in the St Werburghs area of Bristol, England. Constructed between 1970 and 1971, the building is architecturally distinct for its octagonal plan. It was established to replace two earlier chapels, Wesley and Brookland, that were demolished to accommodate the construction of the M32 motorway.

Historically, the building has served as a civic and religious hub for the St Paul's and St Werburgh's districts, and is part of the local Afro-Caribbean community. It has facilitated ecumenical worship by hosting displaced Anglican congregations and has been a venue for significant social activism, including parliamentary inquiries into racial justice following the 1980 St Pauls riot.
