Facilities and features

Accessibility

There is a WC available when the church is open, (a couple of small steps from the nave need to be navigated).

Parking available on the road. There is also a small private parking area by the village hall, however priority is given to the users of the hall, and vehicles may be blocked in when the hall is being used. Please respect our neighbours by not blocking their access. Although the lane is quiet, large agricultural and delivery vehicles frequently use the lane, so please leave plenty of room for them to pass.

There is not a designated accessible car park, however access to the church from the Village Hall avoids steps and is paved. Please note the priority of this private parking area is given to the users of the hall, and vehicles may be blocked in when the hall is being used.

This is located on the front of the village hall, (to the east of the church). Call 999 and quote postcode DY9 0HA for the access code.

There is a paved and level access into the churchyard from the east side of the church.

Assistance dogs are permitted into the building.

There is a level and paved path from the road on the east side of the churchyard into the church. (The WC is accessed by two slight steps inside the Church).


Our Building

The east window, (1870), and the south windows in the chancel and sanctuary, (1878), were installed by Hardman & Co, from the Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham, who also installed some windows in St. John the Baptist, Cirencester, Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin and St Chad’s RC Cathedral, Birmingham. The east window is not ‘stained’ glass, rather a painted one. It depicts Christ appearing to St. Peter. The window in the sanctuary shows Christ carrying his cross, and may consist of fragments of glass taken from windows elsewhere.

The main part of the church is normally locked, however, St. Cassian's, Chaddesley Corbett, St. James the Great, Blakedown, St. John the Baptist, Hagley and St. Leonard's, Clent, all in our neighbouring parishes, are normally open daily.

St. Peter's is a Grade II listed building, listed on February 25, 1958.


Music and Worship

A permanent feature of the Church of England's worship and a key source for its doctrine, the Book of Common Prayer is loved for the beauty of its language and is used at St. Peter's.


Groups, Courses and Activities

Although not directly organised by the church, a coffee morning is attended by some of the congregation, along with others, every first Thursday each month between 11am and 12.30pm, (except in January and February).

During October each year, the church holds a Harvest Festival, with food being donated to a local Food Bank.

During Advent each year, the church holds a Christmas Carol Service, followed with mulled wine and mince pies.

Please keep an eye out in our Events section!
