St. Peter’s Prestbury

The church is the Christian heart of the community. Details of services and church activities are published weekly. Further information can be found in Wikipedia and in the book “St. Peter’s Prestbury” by Gordon B. Hindle (2001) and the latest edition of “Prestbury and its ancient church” by John Earles both of which are obtainable from the church. The church is a popular subject for photographers and artists. The Prestbury Photogallery has photographs of the church, the Norman Chapel and the churchyard. An illustration by Riseley is shown on the left. Church publications have more illustrations.

The church is noteworthy for its fine musical tradition. In the summer of 2004 the Men and Boys’ and Evensong Choir sang services at Lichfield Cathedral. The Precentor and Vergers kindly allowed the choir to make a CD. Click on the cover on the left to hear the Magnificat (Herbert Murrill).
