From the Wikipedia article
St Peter and St Paul is a Greek Orthodox church located on Lower Ashley Road in the Easton area of Bristol, England. Designed in the Gothic Revival style by S. J. Hicks and S. B. Gabriel, the building was completed in 1847 as the Anglican Church of St Simon the Apostle. It was established to serve the rapidly growing and impoverished population of Baptist Mills. Following the merger of the Anglican parish with St Agnes in 1959, the vacant building was acquired by the local Greek and Greek-Cypriot community, which had expanded significantly after World War II. Consecrated in 1963, it became the first permanent Greek Orthodox church in the West Country. It is the principal Greek Orthodox congregation in southwest England under the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Thyateira and Great Britain.

The original chancel screen has been retained and adapted into an iconostasis, with the former openings infilled with panels now painted with icons of Christ, the Virgin Mary, Saint Andrew, Saint John the Baptist, Saint Simon, and Saint Barbara, to screen the sanctuary from view. The baptistery and font were designed by W. Tate of London and dedicated to Richard Coombe. It was formerly surrounded by iron screens of Messrs. E. and F. Edbrook and opened on 8 February 1891. An organ was also present in the church during its Anglican years, later being moved and rebuilt by Daniel & Co. of Clevedon in St Mary Magdalene with St Francis Church in Lockleaze.…
