Winchcombe Parish

St Peter's Winchcombe

St Peter's ChurchChristian worship began in Winchcombe in Saxon times. The earliest reference to the church, dedicated to St Peter, is in 1175 when we hear of its close association with the abbey that once stood to the east of the church. The present building dates from 1468, and remains externally very much as it was when it was built.

St Peter's is the parish church of Winchcombe. We offer opportunities for worship three times each Sunday:
