About Us

Welcome to St Peter's Church, Hackness that has been a place of worship for over 1300 years, but with an association with St Hilda who made the original foundation in 680 AD. This building has examples of carvings and architecture from the Anglo-Saxon period, through Norman and Gothic, with Stuart and Tudor monuments plus Victorian and later stained glass. In 2004 the North Aisle was opened up to create a teaching and display area. Our regular worshippers aim to extend a warm welcome to tourists and visitors alike each time we meet - feel free to come along.
