Portesham: St Peter

St Peter’s Church, has stood at the centre of the village as a beacon of hope for at least 1000 years. Open during daylight hours it offers a place of sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of every day life.  The Chancel provides a discreet place for private prayer. When you visit have a wander around the churchyard and look for our unusual grave stone. 

Worship is held most Sundays and you are most welcome to join us.
