Old St. Peter's Church
Old St. Peter's Church, Stockbridge.
There has been a church dedicated to St Peter at Stockbridge since at least the 12th century. By 1866 the medieval church was in poor condition. An investigation called it 'very old, damp, encumbered with massive stone walls and pillars and unfit for public worship'. Most of the 12th century building was pulled down, leaving only the chancel, and a new church in Victorian Gothic style was built on Stockbridge High Street.
The remains of the medieval building became known as Old St Peter's Church. It is still used for occasional services.
