St. Peter and St. John, Kirkley

There has been a church in Kirkley for over 1'000 years. The present building is the fourth to occupy the site.

The church stands upon rising ground, a short distance away from the highest part of Kirkley Cliff.

Until the 1970's the church was dedicated only to St.Peter. This dedication was changed to St. Peter and St. John after the closure of St. John's Church which stood on the corner of London Road South and Belvedere Road, near the bridge, now a sheltered housing complex.

The Medieval tower is all that remains of the second Church on this site. It is built from knapped flint, laid in courses with stone dressings. On a clear day the tower provides a landmark for miles around. The remainder of the Church is Tractarian in style, completed in 1892.

Our churchmanship could be described as 'medium-high' with a robed choir. Incense is used on special occasions. At Sung Eucharist fairly traditional and well known hymns are sung.

Please feel free to join us in worship on Sundays and for refreshments after Sung Eucharist.
