St Peter and St Paul, Albury
St Peter and St Paul dates from Saxon and Norman times. The door dates from the 13th century. There is a painting of St Christopher dates from the 15th century, and a brass of John Weston who died in 1440.
In 1839 Henry Drummond of Albury Park, began to build two new churches to replace the old parish church. The new Catholic Apostolic Church, near Sherbourne, was to accommodate his fellow Catholic Apostolics. This one, the new Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, was built in the hamlet now known as Albury. The Catholic Apostolic Church was completed in 1840 and this one the following year.
The closure of the old church allowed Drummond to commission Pugin to design a mortuary chapel in its south transept. The old church is now maintained by the Churches Conservation Trust
