Welcome to St Lawrence and St Peter

We’re so glad that you have found us. We are also so happy to welcome our new Rector the Revd Ti Chase who was installed on Tuesday 24th June @ 7pm at St Peter. The initial announcement about his appointment is in the box below.

There are minor changes to our services. As ever all ages are welcome at all times. The first Sunday of the month at both churches will now be an All Age Holy Communion. Do check the blue ‘Sunday Services’ button below in case there are any changes week by week.

We renewed our electoral roll some time ago - but you can still apply - If you would like to be on the Roll and are over 16 please see the form to download and instructions on our APCM page.

If you need to contact us, an email to towerandsteeple@gmail.com will get directed to the right person, who will get back to you. If you’d like to speak to someone about Sunday services, baptisms, weddings, funerals or a pastoral visit, please contact one of our churchwardens or lay ministers -

There is lots going on in our church family life - please enjoy a browse around our website, and newcomers are always welcome at all our events.
