Welford-on-Avon - St Peter

Welcome to St Peter’s. We’re a small friendly church in Welford-on-Avon, about 10 minutes drive from Stratford upon Avon and part of the RiverVale  group of churches with Long Marston, Weston-on-Avon, Lower Quinton with Admington and Mean Vale

Our worshipping community is 120 plus 40+ adults and children in Messy Church, which is steadily growing again post-COVID.

The church is open all year from dawn until dusk, doors being left open in warmer weather, and we receive many visitors, being on the route of the Avon Valley Footpath.

St Peters is an attractive mid-late 12th-century grade 1 listed building sited in the village centre, seating up to 120 people, the present Norman church building replacing a small Saxon one on the same site from 1059. There are Norman arches in both aisles and Gothic arches at the chancel and bell tower entrance.
