About this work
SS Philip and Jacob Church, commonly known as Pip ’n’ Jay, is a historic parish church in central Bristol. Today it is home to Central Church Bristol, while its full official name is St Philip and St Jacob with Emmanuel the Unity. The church has long been associated with the Dings area and was historically known as the Mother Church of East Bristol. Christian worship on the site is believed to date back to around AD 900, when a small priory was established. The church was later rebuilt by Robert, 1st Earl of Gloucester, and is recorded in documents from 1174.
