Organized 1892. Present church was erected in 1918 to replace structure destroyed by cyclone. Lindsay settlers, Germans whose lives centered in the church, furnished much manual labor for the building and saved old windmill towers to be used as reinforcements in concrete. The interior is lavishly decorated with unusual frescoes, stained-glass windows, and carved altars. Swiss artist was Fridolin Fuchs. Architecture is neo-Romanesque. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark--1970.

St Peter's in Greatworth is a small building consisting solely of west tower, nave and chancel. The nave itself appears to have been rebuilt in a rather plain fashion in the 19th century, the tower appears to be 14th century whilst the chancel is the oldest part with it's 13th century Early English lancets.
The interior is quite plain, with few furnishings of note and no stained glass, instead late 19th century patterned glazing with tinted colouring fills every window.
The main items of interest are the monuments mounted on the north wall of varying dates and styles with some good details (particularly the eccentrically assymmetrical rococco tablet behind the pulpit) dating from the late 17th and 18th centuries.
St Peter, Creeting St Peter, Suffolk
A fascinating and little-known church in the woods beside the busy A14.
St.Peter's Church, Stoke Lyne, Oxfordshire was our last port of call. The sun was setting in the west and this lit the church favourably from the road.
I can't tell you much about this church as our visit was somewhat cut short by the churchwarden's attempt to lock us in. It does help if people check the church is empty BEFORE locking the door! Luckily we heard the rattle of the keys in the door lock and we moved fast!

However I am reliably informed that the church dates back to Norman times and has at least one Norman doorway. Internally it is somewhat unusual in having a nave and chancel with a tower in the middle of the south side and a small chapel or chantry matching it on the north side. Possibly a Lady Chapel?
The interior is well cared for and there is some colourful glass but I think our enduring memories of the visit will be the setting sun which we sat and watched afterwards.
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.
Hallé St Peter's is the new rehearsal space for the Hallé in Ancoats, Manchester.
Built in 1859 (the year after the Hallé was founded) the church has been restored for use as a rehearsal and recording space by the Orchestra and it's associated ensembles
The origins of St Peter's Kirk date back to the establishment of Duffus Castle, on a site 1¼ miles to the south east, in the mid 1100s. Castles were often accompanied by churches, and by 1226 a church dedicated to St Peter stood on the location of the church you see today. Around the church grew a village which today is known as Old Duffus. Some time later a tower was built at the west end of the church, which probably reached a height of three storeys.
In 1524 the rector, Alexander Sutherland, oversaw the building of a rather fine porch on the south side of the church: his initials and coat of arms are engraved on the keystone at the centre of the vaulting in its ceiling. The outer door of the porch is surrounded by a strikingly pointed and highly decorated arch. The church seems to have continued to function as a place of worship through the disruption cased by the Reformation of 1560.
In the 1650s it is said that Cromwellian troops based in the area built a paved road around the church, in what at the time would have been the village of Old Duffus. No trace of this has been found in modern times. Some time in the 1700s it was decided to rebuild what by this time was a 500 year old church. This was something that happened to many medieval Scottish churches when funds became available: sometimes to give the congregation something more weathertight, but more usually to provide a space more suitable to the needs of Presbyterian worship.
At St Peter's Kirk much of the earlier church was removed, with the stone presumably being recycled for use in the replacement church you see today. The main elements retained from the earlier church were the porch on the south wall (which perhaps implies that parts of the south wall were also retained), and the lower part of the tower, which became a burial vault.
The new church retained the basic rectangular shape of its predecessor, but was arranged very differently. Whereas the original church would have had its focus at the eastern end, in the new church, everything revolved around the pulpit. This was placed, as is often the case in Presbyterian churches, mid way along the south wall. The pews on the ground floor would have faced in towards the pulpit from the east and west ends, and across the church from the north side. Meanwhile, galleries were inserted at both ends and on the north side of the church. Today the external stairs that gave access to the north and east galleries still remain, and climbing them gives an excellent impression of the space available within the church. The church fell out of use after a new parish church was built in the "new village" of Duffus. in 1869.
The surrounding churchyard is fascinating and is heavily covered by grave markers. Just to the south of the church stands a stone shaft which, together with its massive stone plinth, measures some 14ft in height. This is the mercat cross (or market cross) of Old Duffus and is believed to date back to the 1300s. Its presence here is a reminder of an age in which it was common to hold markets in the churchyard if that happened to be the largest available space in the village or town.
Many of the grave markers carry the traditional emblems of mortality often found on Scottish gravestones from the 1600s and 1700s. The Christian cross was considered too "papist" by the post-Reformation Scottish Kirk, so until the 1800s, skulls, crossbones, angels, egg timers and other emblems stood in instead. Equally interesting are the emblems often used to represent the trades of those interred below.
In the churchyard here, some of the most poignant memorials are those carrying text. An especially interesting touch is the presence on some stones of engraved "guidelines", faint straight lines above and below each line of text to ensure the mason kept his letters of even height and his lines straight. This has not prevented all error, however. A stone commemorating 7 year old Thomas Watson who died in September 1796, is carved in capital letters, and every "N" is carved backwards: while the "DID" on his stone has a small "e" superimposed to turn it into "DIeD".
In one corner of the churchyard stands a watch house, with a date of 1830 inscribed above the door. In the early 1800s body-snatchers or "resurrectionists", who stole freshly-buried corpses for sale to medical schools, were a serious problem in Scotland. A number of countermeasures were used, including buildings in which to store bodies until they were no longer fresh enough to be of interest to body-snatchers; mortsafes placed over graves to prevent them being dug up; and watch houses in which a watchman would guard the churchyard when there were fresh burials. The watch house here is unlikely to have see much use: the Anatomy Act of 1832 opened up a legitimate supply of corpses for medical study and research and body-snatching simply ceased.
St. Peter Church, Dunchurch, Warwickshire.
A church has stood on the present site for about 1000 years.
St Peter's at Church Knowle, Isle of Purbeck in Dorset is a dainty 13th century church but it is likely the site dates back much further as 'Cnolle' is Saxon for a hill. I found it during my holiday in 2010 but I only rediscovered the church guidebook tonight while clearing out tons of old documents. I could thus write a reasonable caption story at last.

The surviving list of rectors dates back to Robert Michel in 1327 but two of these had remarkable records of service - Isaak Chapman was rector of 65 years in the 18th century while John Richards was rector for 52 years from 1781.
Until the 19th century the church was a perfect cruciform plan with a chancel, nave, western tower plus north and south transepts but between 1833 and 1841 the north wall of the nave was demolished and moved out to the line of the end of the north transept. This area was also adapted to take a first storey gallery with box pews.
The nave and the chancel are divided by a stone mural screen, one of eight known to remain in Dorset. In the south transept are parts of two stone coffins thought to be 13th or 14th century.
A substantial monument with brasses remains in what was once the north transept to John Clavell Esq who died in 1609 and his two wives, Myllicent who died in 1571 and his second wife Susan who died in 1618. The actual tomb was ordered and built the year after Myllicent died.

The dome of St. Peter's rises to a total height of 136.57 metres (448.1 ft) from the floor of the basilica to the top of the external cross.
St Peter and Paul, Wantage, is mainly 13th Century, remodelled in the 14th and 15th centuries. It was restored in 1851-2 and 1854-7 by G E Street and extended westwards by William Butterfield in 1877-81.

St. Peter's Episcopal Church, also known as St. Peter's Church, in Albany, New York, is a church built in 1859 that was designed by Richard Upjohn and his son Richard M. Upjohn. The architecture is French-style decorated Gothic.
Standing amidst historic homes and commercial structures along Wardensville's Main Street is St. Peter's Lutheran Church. This congregation was organized just a few years after the chartering of the town, begun as a mission of Hebron Lutheran Church in 1840. Early on, the Lutherans worshiped with other congregations in Wardensville's Union Church. During the Civil War, the congregation was served by Rev. Peter Miller, who during one Union occupation of the village voluntarily gave himself as a hostage to the Union Army. Many in his congregation followed suit, and according to church history, appeased the occupying forces and saved it from destruction. Rev. Miller was still serving this congregation when a new Lutheran Church was erected in 1870. This building, constructed of brick, was built in Italianate Style. This church served the congregation until it collapsed from inadequate bricks used in its construction. The present house of worship was completed in 1934-1935. Designed by A. Hensel Fink of Philadelphia, St. Peters is a great example of late Gothic Revival style. The nave is surmounted by a cathedral ceiling and lined with stained glass windows. The chancel, features elegant furnishings and paneled walls behind the choir pews. Above the altar is a small round window, containing the Luther Rose. St. Peters is today part of a 4 church parish, one of which is Hebron Church, its mother congregation.
St. Peter's Seminary is an abandoned Roman-Catholic seminary. It was designed by the architect firm Gillespie, Kidd and Coia in 1960. The site was abandoned in the late 1980's and there are continuous discussions regarding the restoration of the building, however there seems to be no sign of any construction work near the building at all.
St Peter's Church, Tiverton. This church dates back to the 1400s.
Tiverton lies at the meeting of the rivers Exe and Lowman. It was previously known as Twyford and there has been a settlement there since the stone age.
The town is dominated by St Peters church, built in the 14th Century. The church lies virtually next door to the old castle, a Norman motte built in 1106 and converted into a country house in the 17th Century.
The town prospered due to its woollen mills in the 17th and 18th Centuries but declined following the Industrial Revolution.

St Peter's Church stands above the small village green on a sloping hillside above a small ford. There may have been a church here in the Saxon period, but the current church of St Peter was begun in the 12th century. The oldest part of the church is the lower section of the tower, where you can clearly see a small narrow window common in the early Norman period. The top of the tower is a saddleback design, common to the area near Cirencester.
The tower arch may also be early Norman. The two-bay nave arcade is late Norman, and a good example of Transitional Gothic style. The north aisle is also late Norman, with Early English windows in the west and north-east corner. The porch is also Early English, though it was moved to its current position during a sweeping restoration in 1872. The goblet-shaped font is late Norman, with very attractive foliated decoration around a circular bowl.
Tucked into a corner is a worn stone coffin, dating to the 13th or 14th century. It was discovered built into the churchyard wall and brought inside for preservation. There is a Norman piscina in the chancel, projecting from the south window embrasure. There are good examples of Victorian stained glass throughout the church.
