A Look Back in Time: The Church's Story
The first parts of St Peter's Church were built way back in the 11th century. That's over 900 years ago! Over many centuries, new sections were added to the church.
For example, the North aisle was built in the 13th century. The South aisle was added in the 14th century. The tall tower and the clerestory (which is a row of windows high up on the church walls) were built in the 15th century.
In the 19th century, the church was carefully repaired and updated. This process is called restoration. Some of the stone used in St Peter's Church might have come from a nearby church in Washingley that was no longer used.
