St Peter Mancroft is Norwich's largest and finest parish church, a superb example of late 15th/early 16th century Perpendicular gothic. It's elaborately panelled west tower is a major landmark in the heart of the city.
Inside the huge, elegant space is flooded with light from it's large windows and above the sweeping arcades is a fine hammerbeam roof (with unusual false vaulting at it's edges).
The focal point inside is the church's greatest treasure, the enormous 7-light east window mostly filled with original 15th century stained glass in a series of narrative panels on the subject of the life of Christ. It is one of the most significant survivals of the period. Below is a richly carved and gilded early 20th century reredos.
There are good examples of late Victorian/early 20th century glass here too, most notably Herbert Hendrie's superb Lady Chapel east window from the 1920s. There is also a fine and unusual medieval font canopy in the north west corner.
As befits Norwich's most impotrant parish church it is also one of it's most accessible ones and is generally open daily.

St. Peter's Church (Peterskirche), Vienna. Petersplatz 6, 1010 Wien, Austria
The oldest church building (of which nothing remains today) dates back to the Early Middle Ages, and there is speculation that it could be the oldest church in Vienna (See Ruprechtskirche). That Roman church was built on the site of a Roman encampment. A church of Saint Peter in Vienna is first mentioned in 1137. The construction of the new Baroque church was begun around 1701 under Gabriele Montani, who was replaced by Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt in 1703. Around the end of the 12th century, the church became part of the Schottenstift.
At the bottom you can see the Altar of Transfiguration, one of the most beautiful mosaics in St. Peter's.

St Peter's Church, Bristol. Severely damaged by enemy bombing in 1940, it has since been maintained in its ruined state as a memorial to Bristol's civilian war dead. 10th September 2009.
St Peter's at Church Lawford is a mostly Victorian structure by Slater & Carpenter 1872 and quite a handsome building. The only medieval part is the north arcade inside and a plain blocked Norman south door.
I'd got into this church many years ago by luckily stumbling across a keyholder. It is still kept locked now, but this time I decided to save it for another occasion and move on, rather than bother the wardens whose numbers were posted.
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.
St Peter, Harrogate. Window by Burlison & Grylls. Memorial window to Private Aubrey Cecil James Coombes, Royal Fusiliers. Killed in action in France, 28 Dec 1915, aged 24.
St.Peter's, South Weald, is a large parish church which seems out of place in the small village that is South Weald today. It was formerly the parish church of nearby Brentwood and also formerly served the Harold Hill area.
www.flickr.com/photos/barryslemmings/sets/72157594283793202/ is a whole set about this church,
A principal landowner is the area in Saxon times was King Harold, killed at Hastings in 1066. The present church dates from the 12th century at least when it had a nave and chancel on the site of the present south aisle. The north aisle was added in the 13th century and the tower was built at the beginning of the 16th century. An extensive rebuilding took place in 1868 to the plans of architect S. S. Teulon. The north aisle was converted into the nave and chancel.
The font dates to 1662 and has a finely carved cover of later date. From 1868 until 1946 the Tower family of nearby Weald Hall [now demolished] had a private chapel in the church but this was converted into a war memorial and marks the death [among others] of two members of the Tower family in WW1.
The family kept a deer park from which the deer escaped in WW2 and took up residence in the area. The Tower family's interest in deer is marked by a stained glass window dedicated to the hunter saint, St Hubert. There is some 15th century Flemish glass high up in the tower but the rest is Victorian or later.
An attempt at an Easter theme. Took a quick walk with the dog up to St Peter's church, 5 minutes from my house, while the sun was shining, to capture a shot I'd had in my mind for the last few weeks.
This Oak carving forms part of an ornate panel on a mantlepiece in Baysgarth House, Barton Upon Humber. It has been suggested that this was once part of the parish chest of the church of St. Peter.
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

View out over the harbour taken from the upstairs cafe in M&S in St Peter Port, Guernsey looking toward Jethou, Herm and in the distance Sark. With Fort Cornet visible on the right.
St. Peter Port is the capital of Guernsey, as well as the main port of the island. Population was 16,488 in 2001. In Guernesiais and in French, historically the official language of Guernsey, the name of the town and its surrounding parish is St Pierre Port. The "port" distinguishes this parish from Saint Pierre Du Bois.
As well as being a parish, St. Peter Port is a small town consisting mostly of steep narrow streets and steps on the overlooking slopes.
The post code for addresses in this parish starts with GY1.
People from St. Peter Port, were nicknamed "les Villais"
St Peter's Basilica in the Vatican City is one of the most popular sights to see when visiting Rome. Admission is free but security check-point lines often seem endless with no simple skip-the-line options. Turn up early in the morning or try to access the church complex directly after seeing the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican Museum. Climb the dome for some of the finest views in Rome.

St. Peter's is set at the foot of the beautiful Wittenham Clumps, near Didcot, Oxfordshire. Nothing in the church gave information about the Star of David over the entrance.
St Peter and St Paul, Edgefield, Norfolk
The Reverend Walter Henry Marcon, Rector of Edgefield 1875-1937, was born in the Rectory, son of the Rector of the time, and died in the same room.
See Edgefield for more.
St. Peter's was until recently the largest church ever built and it remains one of the holiest sites in Christendom. Contrary to what one might reasonably assume, St. Peter's is not a cathedral - that honour in Rome goes to the Basilica of St John Lateran.
For the innocent tourist, you will see the famous dome of St Peter ( designed by Michelangelo, who became chief architect in 1546) from far off, so its a natural landmark to head for.
The Via Della Conciliazione is a wide avenue that runs from the River Tiber and the centre of Rome from St Angelo Fort up to St Peter's Square.
If you arrive by Metro, you are about 5 minutes walk through typical Rome streets until you come into St Peter's Square.
Once you arrive at the square, things start to click. This is the square you've seen on the news, and yes there is the balcony the Pope is seen at.
Once you've got the mandatory photographs, its time to think about visiting. The Vatican Museums where the Sistine Chapel is, is a 5/10 minute walk around the Vatican walls. If you think the queues in front of you snaking into St Peter's are long, odds are the Vatican Museums are longer and slower moving. So do read our Vatican logistics page and have an informed strategy in place for one of the main reasons you come all this way to Rome.

St Peter's is a gothic church of the 15th century. It has preserved a few Romanesque features. It's dominated by a slate steeple. Here you see the beautiful gilded retable with equally beautiful tabernacle, communion table in gilded wood and sculpted in the 18th century as well as a cathedra in the style of Louis XV.
The stained glass windows are particularly beautiful and rich, but a locked gate stopped me from getting in to photograph them. This shot was through the gate.
The church was the chapel of the chateau.

L'église Saint-Pierre est un édifice gothique du XVe siècle. Elle a conservé qulques vestiges romans. Elle est dominée par une jolie flêche en ardoise. Elle possède un maître-autel avec retable, un tabernacle,une table de communion en bois peint doré et sculpté du XVIIIe siècle ainsi qu'un cathèdre de style Louis XV.
The delightful little church of St Peter's dates back to 1856, when Bishop Robert Gray, the first Bishop of Cape Town, recorded that the devoted Coloured parishioners of Plettenberg Bay had been labouring night and day to complete a small schoolroom-chapel in time for his visit in that year. St Peter's Chapel, as it was named, stood on the site of a wooden church that had served for 19 years before being blown down in 1875. Gray had already decided a stone church should be built to a design brought from England by his wife, Sophie.
William Jones won the building contract. He was mission schoolmaster, storekeeper, inn keeper, timber merchant, builder, and even harbour master.
Building had been in progress for a year already when the keystone of the arched entrance was inscribed 1879. Only in May 1881 could the work be deemed complete. It was consecrated by Bishop West Jones on Sunday 14 August of that year. Total cost? £850 12s.
The gateway is in memory of Denys Alfred St Chad-Earp-Jones of the 1st Transvaal Scottish regiment killed in action in the Battle of El Alamein 1942-10-23
Learning center offers Native American students new technology
By J.D. Long-García, jdlgarcia@catholicsun.org
November 20, 2008
BAPCHULE — There was only one member of St. Peter Mission School community who was unsure about the name of the new Joe Garagiola Learning Center — Joe Garagiola himself.
“Joe fussed about it,” Franciscan Sister Martha Carpenter said. “He said, ‘Nothing is named after me except my oldest son.’”
Garagiola — a former Major League Baseball player who’s known as “Awesome Fox” by the school community — eventually agreed on the condition that “Where every child is a gift” be included in the center’s name.
More than 300 people were on hand for the Nov. 2 blessing of the new facility. Led by Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted, the community gathered for prayer and thanksgiving.
“This center is a real homerun, Joe,” the bishop said during the blessing ceremony.
St. Peter students joined in thanking Garagiola, singing “This Man is Our Joe” to the melody of Woody Guthrie’s classic “This Land is Your Land.”
But the former ball player wasn’t the only one honored.
“We have never said as often as we should how thankful we are for the Franciscan sisters,” said Fr. Edward Meulmans, a retired priest who serves Native American missions in the diocese.
He said the students pick up the Franciscans’ loving spirit of service when they come to the school. The sisters create an environment that marries prayer with education, he said.
“The learning center, along with the church, will be an important building for us for years to come,” Fr. Meulmans said.
The five-year project replaced the school’s tiny library with the 5,125-square-foot learning center featuring a lab with 30 computers and a 12,000-volume library.
