Our ancient parish church is a sacred space in the heart of the community celebrating hospitality, hope and humour.

The Chancel dates from 1375 and the rest of the church is 14th and 15th Century. An unusual feature is the central sloping aisle which slopes 1.5 metres from east to west. Services are held at 8am and 10am with a 4pm service each Sunday except Evensong on the third Sunday of each month at 18:00. There is a Eucharist service every Wednesday at 11.30am cafe every Monday morning and Thursday afternoon. Please see more details below on the 6 regular church services:

We meet every Sunday in the choir stalls. There is no sermon at this service but we do observe a short period of silence between the Apostle’s Creed and Intercessions. This service lasts 30 minutes. No collection is taken but there is an offertory plate in which gifts can be placed. Whist this is a traditional service with Elizabethan language all are welcome and many find it a very comforting and safe place.

We meet every Sunday except for the 3rd Sunday of the month. At this service we sing traditional hymns and share the Eucharist together. There is a sermon preached of around 10 minutes based upon the set lectionary and formal intercessions are offered. The music at this service is led by our organ and on the 4th Sunday of the month is accompanied by a robed choir.

The Family Service is an informal service which is led musically by the St. Peter’s Church Band which consists of musicians of all abilities and ages.
