Background
History
Bristol Jamia Mosque was originally an Anglican mission room, known as St. Katherine’s church, which was constructed in 1889 and closed in 1964. In 1968, the Bristol Muslim Association purchased the disused church from the parish council for conversion. The dome and minaret were added to the structure in 1980. It was the first mosque in Bristol and is currently the largest mosque in south-west England.
Description
The mosque has one dome and one minaret. Both men and women are allowed to pray at the mosque; it has a main hall (capacity 700) and a separate women's prayer hall (capacity 140). The building also houses classrooms for children and an event hall for religious celebrations and other meetings. The main hall has a wooden Syrian mimbar.
