}}St Peter's Church is a Roman Catholic Parish church in Gloucester, Gloucestershire. It was built from 1860 to 1868 and designed by Gilbert Blount. It is situated on the corner of London Road and Black Dog Way in the centre of the city. It is a Grade II* listed building.[1]

History

Foundation

In 1788, a Roman Catholic mission was founded in Gloucester. It was served by an Fr Gildart from a house on Berkeley Street. He did so with help from a £1,000 donation from a Miss Mary Webb.[3] In 1789, it became a parish.[2] In 1790, a Fr John Greenaway came to serve the parish. He set about getting chapel built. It was dedicated to St Peter ad Vincula and was built on London Road. It was registered in 1792. He died in 1800 and was buried in the chapel.[4][5]

In 1850, during the same year as the restoration of the English hierarchy, a Fr Leonard Calderbank became parish priest.[4][5] With the increasing Catholic population of the city, he planned for a larger church to accommodate the congregation. In 1857, a £1,000 gift from a Frances Canning was given for the construction of the church[4][5] and subscriptions were given by the local congregation.[1]

Construction

In 1859, the chapel on the site of the church was demolished. Construction on the church started in 1860. Gilbert Blount was commissioned to build a Gothic Revival church.[1] In 1867, the neighbouring presbytery was demolished to allow space for construction of a longer nave, a tower and spire.[4][5] On 8 October 1868, the church was consecrated.[2] In 1880, a new presbytery was built.[4][5]

Parish

The church has four Sunday Masses: 6:00pm on Saturday and 9:00am, 10:00am and 5:30pm on Sunday.[2]
