St. Peters Church |
The Bells of St Peter’s
St Peter's Church has a beautiful light ring of ten bells (11cwt tenor) which is unusual for a small rural church. The ringing chamber is on a balcony at the west end of the church and allows the congregation and visitors the opportunity to see this ancient art in action. Mostly a Perpendicular 15th century building but there are traces of an earlier 13th century church. Pebworth is the most easterly village in Worcestershire, having been transferred from Gloucestershire in 1931. (Diocese of Gloucester) St Peter's is usually open during daylight hours. |
St Peter’s Church, Pebworth porch appeal
St Peter’s Church urgently needs your help.
In February 2018, whilst the Beast from the East was causing havoc across Europe, it was also causing havoc for our ancient 15th century village church.
Snow caused severe damage to the slate tiles, causing the porch roof to collapse.
Our insurance company has refused to pay for the porch, which because of the Church’s status; as a Grade I listed building, will cost between £18,000 and £20,000 – depending on what can be salvaged.
It’s a huge sum for a small parish, but fundraising will be starting soon with a series of musical concerts.
Repair work is expected to start in the Autumn, but you can help now by donating to either of the churchwardens Michael Veal and Elizabeth Spencer or directly to our bursar John Ilott (Cheques should be made payable to St Peter’s PCC, in an envelope marked Fabric Fund).
Any donations however small would be appreciated, whether you are a regular worshipper or use the church on special family occasions like christenings, weddings, funerals or just for singing carols at Christmas.
The church doors are always open for the people in our community, please help us keep the doors open for years to come.
