There has been a church on this site since the 1950's. Being built post war which is one of the few churches of that era left in Bristol.

Its main historic value is the eight stained glass windows depicting the life of our Lord. They were designed by Pierre Fourmaintraux and made by James Powell & Sons (Whitefriars Glass) of London. There are only two examples of Pierre Fourmaintraux work in Bristol and only about seventy five across the country. They are listed in the archives of the V & A Museum references can also be found in Whitefriars Glass James Powell & Sons of London published by the Museum of London.

The church is situated in the centre of Lawrence Weston opposite the local shopping centre, surrounded by a grassed area and adjacent to a childrens playground.
