St Nicholas of Tolentino at Lawford's Gate in Easton was founded in 1848 to serve Irish families in the area, and is described as the oldest purpose-built Catholic church in Bristol. Charles Francis Hansom designed the Gothic Revival building, whose nave opened in 1850. It was added to the Bristol Local List in 2016 and in 2018 became the city's first Church of Sanctuary.
