- St. Augustine Church (Bristol)
St. Augustine Church was a Church of England church located on Whitchurch Lane in Whitchurch, Bristol.
History
Construction
The church was built in 1972 to cater for the expansion of Whitchurch Parish in the suburb of south Bristol, England, UK.
Closure
St Augustine Church was dogged with structual problems since first built. Rainwater had been leaking through the roof since theft of the valuable lead in the final few months [ [http://www.epost.co.uk/displayNode.jsp?nodeId=144936&command=displayContent&sourceNode=144919&contentPK=19140543&moduleName=InternalSearch&formname=sidebarsearch This Is Bristol Homepage ] ] .
The bell tower had previously been removed because it was unstable.
The church was deemed unsafe at midday on 28th November 2007. The church was immediately closed.
Re-build
Plans to demolish the building and build a new church have not come to fruition since permission was granted in 2004. Parishioners hoped to raise up to £50,000 towards the £350,000 cost of the new church.
Priest the Rev. Erika Scott said: "Fundraising has been ongoing and we are up to £20,000. We still have plans to rebuild a new church and the community has rallied around to help us" [Rev. Erika Scott - Bristol Evening Post 3rd December 2007 - http://www.epost.co.uk]
