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.

Come to LaTCH on 30th March for coffee, croissants and a variety of crafty activities for families, followed by an informal service that starts at 10.30am.

We’ll have a guest speaker, Helen Horsley formerly of Homestart, and lively music led by the specially formed band!
