paten

Somewhere around 1230 this beautiful paten was given to St Peter’s.

The stained glass windows are mostly memorial gifts.

The building we have today is as the result of gifts made by those who love this place.

If you would like to make a gift, large or small, please contact us.

Gifts can be anonymous or recorded in our Memorial Gifts book as you wish.

 

This page is a guide to our policy on Memorial Gifts and a list of current requirements.

Our Policy:

St Peter’s receives many requests to make gifts as memorials to loved ones.  In the past, we have sometimes had to refuse proposed gifts as they did not fit in with either local or diocesan policy.  This page is designed to help you choose a gift that will be accepted.

This list indicates the items that we will currently be pleased to accept. 
We also welcome donations to our various funds.  You can specify which fund you wish to support. 

To enquire about how to make a bequest please contact the Curate (01634 373036) or our Wardens. 

St Peter’s is an ancient building which, together with the churchyard, is subject to many rules and regulations.  Please do not make any arrangements to purchase a particular item until you have our specific written permission.

The names of all those interred in the churchyard are entered in the Book of Remembrance, displayed in the chapel. 

The names of those remembered through memorial gifts, and the gifts given can be entered into the Memorial Gifts Book displayed in the chapel.  We are not able to accept the placing of plaques on particular items.

 

If you are a UK tax payer then we can reclaim the tax you have paid on any donation without any cost to you.  This can add 25% to your gift.  Please ask us if you would like to arrange this; it is very simple and we don’t need any personal information beyond your name and address.

 

Please note, by order of the Diocese, we are not able to accept any further gifts of benches in the churchyard, other than replacement of existing benches by the original donor family.
