St Peter’s Church Welcomes Everyone to Their Sunday Afternoon Teas.
Served every Sunday in the church from 3pm-5pm – Until 1st September
There are a few weeks left to experience a special Sunday afternoon treat at St Peter’s church. Lovely homemade cakes to tempt the taste buds served in the beautiful environment of this wonderful church.
A Community Summer Treat
St Peter’s is a community church in the truest sense of the word. A Sunday afternoon Cream Tea serves homemade cakes and scones made by the local community, along with tea and coffee served by local volunteers and worshippers – even encouragement to a local Duke of Edinburgh Award student, as she rolls up her sleeves and washes up. Everyone involved gives their time freely to this longstanding community summer treat.

A time of community and communing
Visitors to Cream Teas have a lovely opportunity to spend time together; to chat, catch up and enjoy the unique peace the church space offers. There is a lovely atmosphere as people enjoy each other’s company in this special place.
Enjoying a Cream Tea and time together
We also now have our prayer tree. For anyone who wishes to have prayers said, they are invited to write their request on a leaf and hang it on the tree. All leaves are read and prayers offered by our lay team privately, at quiet times during the week.

Helping to fund a bright future
St Peter’s has a rich and long history, dating back over 800 years. However, it is a church that lives and works very much in the present, with a lively association with its parish villages and the local school.
Together, we aim to keep the church viable to serve its community for many more years by developing the building and adopting processes that better serve the wider environment. We are a newly established Eco Church looking to improve the carbon footprint of the building. Read all about it here.
All proceeds from Cream Teas will assist our project to improve facilities at the church. Our Cream Teas are a vital element of fundraising for this cause.
