The Cathedral Church of SS. Peter and Paul is the Roman Catholic cathedral of the city of Bristol (not to be confused with the Church of England Bristol Cathedral). Located in the Clifton area of the city, it is the seat and mother church of the Diocese of Clifton and is known as Clifton Cathedral. It has been a Grade II* Listed Building since 2000.[1] A 2014 study noted it to be the only Catholic church built in the 1970s to have been Grade II* listed.[2] It was the first cathedral built under new guidelines arising from the Second Vatican Council.[1][3]
