St Peter's Church, Sidford
ST PETER'S CHURCH
Built in the 1860s as a
chapel of ease, the Church of St. Peter is the largest building in
Sidford and is one of the two churches in the parish of Sidbury with
Sidford. It is a typical Victorian brick building intended to be a
church at the heart of the community. The fellowship at St. Peter’s see
this as being both their heritage and their vision. The worship
reflects a wide range of spirituality and taste, following the Common
Worship book.
