About this Event
Ayot St Peter Church Open Day
Heritage Open Day: Our church will be open all day for visitors to browse and take photographs. We will be selling home-made preserves and we hope for a fine day so visitors can enjoy the pretty and tranquil churchyard. Join us on Saturday 14th September for an oppotunity to explore Ayot St Peter Church, an exceptionally complete and beautifully preserved Victorian Arts and Crafts church of 1875 by J. P. Seddon. The church features mosiacs by Jesse Rust, the only church installation by Martin Brothers Pottery ("Martinware") and a fine painted ceiling in the apse. The church is described in the Simon Jenkins book 'England's Thousand Best Churches' (1999) and the latest edition of Pevsner.
This year we will have a small exhibition of items relating to the railway station that once existed in our village.
