St Peter’s Church, Heidelberg.
The neo-Gothic aisles of St. Peter's are completed by two large canvases by Hans Thoma (1839-1924): "Peter on the sea" (north side) and "Christ as a gardener" (south). Your purchase (1902) is due to the art historian Henry Thode.

St. Peter Church, Dunchurch, Warwickshire.
A church has stood on the present site for about 1000 years.
St Peter's church at Pebworth is largely of 14th/15th century date and retains an atmosphere of antiquity thanks to having been more sensitively treated during the Victorian period, having a more post-Reformation feel with its clear glass, whitewashed interior and fragments of 17th mural decoration.
It is usually open and welcoming to visitors.
St Peter, Stetchworth, Cambridgeshire
A pleasing building, set away from its village street, and looking spick and span having undergone a major restoration in the early years of the 21st Century. The interior is quirky, the aisles rather striking with their large quatrefoil windows which Pevsner thought an odd mannerism of the early 19th Century. Their stonework has been renewed. Most memorable is the large 1674 memorial to Henry Gorges, Superintendent of the Bedford levels, which is shoehorned into the east end of the north aisle. He lies in full Roman dress, only missing a helmet to cover his long hair. The two figures above him are his parents, Lord and Lady Gorges.
Less dramatic is the lovely collection of 15th Century image brackets set into the arcades and walls, one featuring a lady saying her rosary looking down on what presumably were 15th Century Stetchworth peasants doing the same thing.
Heritage weekend now last two weekend and maybe up to four, or more, weekday, meaning that I had the chance to visit some I missed the week before.
The write up on the heritage website sounded interesting, so we were at the door of St Peter just after ten.
After renovation, required when it was discovered that the white paint used inside was not allowing the bricks to breath, upon its removal, this fantastic brickwork was uncovered, and the decision by English Heritage not to put a new coat of paint on, and allow the multi-coloured bricks to be seen.
The font was pointed out, as this, it had been thought, been rescued from a Norfolk church about to be consumed by the sea. Some research has shown the font to have been from St Peter Southgate in Norwich, after the vicar in 1909 saw it in the porch of St Etheldreda's in the same city.
A true Victorian church, now revealed as it's designer and builders would have seen it.

High on the East cliff overlooking the harbour is a remarkable group of school and church. St Peter's is a shrine of peace and tranquillity and has a real sense of holiness. Built to serve the growing community of the resort, it was originally designed by Richard Hussey in 1862. For the next few years the church became a centre of controversy as its priests tried to introduce ritualistic worship and furnishings. In 1870 the church was extended by the addition of a north aisle and an enlarged chancel to assist ritualism. The day it re opened vestments were introduced. The wonderful blue Rood Screen is made of wrought iron and dates from 1872. It has the image of Christ on its central cross - a symbol that created much controversy when it was erected. In the north aisle are fragments of early glass by Kempe - the rest having been destroyed in a fire in 1996. Nearby is the octagonal font which is fifteenth century and came from one of the Norfolk churches that was demolished due to the incursion of the sea. In a county full of medieval brasses it is interesting to record three small Victorian examples here, to a priest, a sacristan and a nun.
St Peter, Ringland, Norfolk
A church of outstanding interest to the west of Norwich. A superb collection of 15th Century stained glass has been reset, rather unfortunately, up in the clerestory. It includes a rare image of the Holy Trinity, with God the Father holding a Crucified Christ while the Dove of the Holy Spirit descends. Other images are an Annunciation, St John the Baptist and the Blessed Virgin and child, as well as several smaller images of donors and roundels of Evangelistic symbols.
There are nine rood screen panels depicting Saints holding scrolls, and thus part of a Creed sequence. They are quite out of order, and in any case have only been in situ since WWII. They probably came from another church originally.
The 15th century hammerbeam roof with coving is considered one of the best in East Anglia.
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 medieval church of St Peter at Flyford Flavell has been somewhat restored in the Victorian period, with most of the nave and chancel being completely rebuilt by W J Hopkins in 1882/3. However the church retains its fifteenth century west tower and some small fragments of ancient glass and tiled floor can be found within.
The church is normally kept locked without keyholder information.
