Ancient and modern counterpoint: The tiered tower of St Paul’s Church, which dates back to the 1790s, appears to rise from the striking red facade of a much more recent addition to the local architecture, when viewed from Newfoundland Road, Bristol.

The Church, in Portland Square, is Grade I Listed and was designed by Daniel Hague. It closed as a church in 1988 but remains the responsibility of the Churches Conservation Trust. It was converted in 2005 to become the home of the Circomedia circus school. The building won an international RICS Community Benefit Award in 2007.
