History

St Peter's has Norman origins, its history can be traced back to the 11th century. Its construction was originally of a more simplistic nature, consisting of only a nave, chancel, bell-cot and a wooden porch. After changes in the 14th and 17th Centuries, the building also exhibits both north and south transepts, a tower and a stained-glass window dedicated to Joseph Paxton. The Church also features the 'Inglis Chapel', deriving its namesake from the Inglis family; Hugh Inglis (a former Baron of Milton Bryan) made significant repairs and additions to the building during the 1800s and selected Robert Smirke as the architect.[2][3]

Activity

The Church maintains regular services, including Holy Communion, alongside community events such as jumble sales and 'Café Church' where refreshments are provided for an optional donation.[4]

gollark: I'm mostly just used to really cheap low-end hardware, though.
gollark: i.e. you get them, they're shiny, you get used to them, and everything is the same except you now have to keep buying shinier expensive products because the old thing isn't good enough.
gollark: I feel like these high-refresh-rate things are subject to "hedonic adaptation".
