St Peter's Church, Wenhaston

About

St Peter’s Church is very much part of the active village community of Wenhaston. Its major services and fund-raising events are well-supported. The church has strong links with the village primary school and is developing outreach work with young people and families. It is also in the process of adapting the church building to include kitchen and toilet facilities. Worship has been taking place on the site of the current church since Saxon times, and the church building bears many traces of this history. In particular, Wenhaston is well-known for its remarkable Doom painting, which dates back to the late 15th century. Visitors to the Doom frequently comment on the peaceful and welcoming atmosphere of the church. Today the church offers a warm welcome to its services and social events. Mentioned in the Doomsday Book of 1086, parts of the present St Peter’s Church dates back to Norman times.
