St Peter and St Paul, Stoke Lacy is a village church with a vibrant, though small, congregation. It is part of the Bromyard Benefice. The church is open daily and welcomes visitors. There has been a church on this site from at least 1279, possibly earlier. It is now largely a Victorian restoration with an arch from the earlier Norman church.
The Morgan link:
There are five beautiful stained-glass windows dedicated to the Morgan family, four in the church and one in the porch. Harry Morgan, son of George Morgan, rector of St Peter and St Paul for 50 years, founded the Morgan Motor Company in 1910. https://www.stokelacyheritage.co.uk/the-morgans
VIA BEATA – a way of blessing:
The PCC is committed to making Stoke Lacy a way-station along the 400 mile route of the new Via Beata. Way-stations are being linked by existing footpaths and public rights-of-way so that pilgrims can walk or ride across the UK and be presented with the good news about Jesus at each station. In 2021 Through Faith Missions ‘Walk the Way’ missionaries walked along the entire route and visited Stoke Lacy and Bromyard; this sowed the seed that our church could be involved in this missional outreach. www.viabeata.co.uk
