St. Peter Church, Dunchurch

St. Peter Church, Dunchurch, Warwickshire.

 

A church has stood on the present site for about 1000 years. The Domesday Book called the village ‘Done Cerce’ and said that there was a priest here. The church is for the most part, the work of the monks of Pipewell, a Cistercian abbey near Kettering in Northamptonshire. Pipewell owned lands and property in Warwickshire and St. Peter’s was appropriated by the abbey in 1175.
