Description:

Peter Kay standing outside the Ivy Pentecostal Church, Ashley Hill, Bristol. Peter is the vicar of the Ivy Church.

In the 19th century, a runaway slave called Henry Parker came to Bristol. He became a lay preacher at the Ivy Church. Some of his descendants still live in the Bristol area.

The congregation of the Ivy Church today consists of black and white members, who meet and worship together.

With thanks to the Ivy Church for giving their permission.
