Welcome to St Peter The Great

St Peter The Great is a historic church located in the heart of Worcestershire. The church dates back to the 12th century and has undergone several renovations over the years. The church is known for its stunning architecture and beautiful stained glass windows. It is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike who come to admire the church's beauty and learn about its rich history.

The church is also known for its connection to the famous English composer, Sir Edward Elgar. Elgar was a regular visitor to St Peter The Great and was inspired by the church's beauty and peacefulness. He even composed some of his most famous works, including "The Dream of Gerontius," while sitting in the church. Today, visitors can see a plaque dedicated to Elgar inside the church, which commemorates his connection to the historic building.

St Peter The Great is not just a place of worship, but also a community hub. The church hosts a variety of events throughout the year, including concerts, art exhibitions, and charity fundraisers. It is a place where people can come together to celebrate their faith and their community. The church's welcoming atmosphere and rich history make it a beloved landmark in Worcestershire and a must-visit destination for anyone interested in English history and culture.

Severn Way
A Beautiful Walk Along The River Severn With Farm Land All Around. The Parking Is On The Narrow Lane In The Form Of Makeshift Lay-Bys, However There Is Rarely More Than 1 Or 2 Cars There. I Suggest Keeping Your Dog On A Lead Until You Get Through The Gate. Go Up The Track And Bear Left And Keep Walking! I've Walked About 4 Miles Before Turning Round And Heading Back, I'm Not Sure How Far It's Possible To Go, Many More Miles I Assume. There's Plenty Of Access To The River For Hot And Thirsty Dogs. It's Incredibly Quiet, I've Rarely Encountered More Than 1 Or 2 Other Walkers, With Lots Of Wildlife Such As Pheasants, Rabbits And Even A Hate Or 2. Severn Way Kempsey Worcester WR5 3LP 3.10 miles
