Former Pro-cathedral of the Holy Apostles
Image: © Alan Murray-Rust Taken: 24 Jun 2017
The original building to the rear was begun in 1834 to a Greek temple design http://www.churchcrawler.co.uk/procath.htm , but shifting foundations stopped work in 1845. The revised design of 1870 by Hansom included a much lighter structure for the main church and the addition of the complete north (liturgically west) end. After the new Clifton Cathedral was opened in the 1970s, it became a school, then later a store and finally unoccupied. Following threats of demolition, it has finally found a new life as a conversion into student flats. Listed Grade II.
