St Peter’s was the last of three new parish churches built in March in the late 19th century; it was consecrated on 26th January 1881 and is a fine example of a Victorian Church, built of Ancaster stone with Bath stone mouldings. It was designed to hold 700 people, with a chancel, nave, a Priest's vestry, a children’s room, (which now serves as a choir vestry), a tower and a spire with a single bell.
The building itself remains largely unchanged, though improved facilities on site include a community hall, kitchen and toilet facilities, all fully accessible. The north aisle of the church also now serves as a Lady Chapel suitable for smaller services and private prayer.
The buildings are well used for worship, not only by the congregation of St. Peter’s but by other community organisations, and for a range of community activities. The church and hall benefit from a large amount of off-street parking - a real asset given their town centre location.
The community hall, built in 1894, was more recently extended to adjoin the church, and includes a kitchen and accessible toilet facilities.
The hall is well-used for Church activities such as Junior Church, St. Peter’s Mothers’ Union and Christian Aid lunches. It is also a popular venue for private functions and other community activities.
