St. Peter's Church, Gayton, part of the Mid-Trent Churches Team

St. Peter's Church is Grade II* listed, was built in the 12th century, and retains the original Norman chancel arch along with several 13th and 14th century features. The nave and tower were rebuilt in 1732, and the church underwent extensive restoration in 1870. The tower houses two bells, one inscribed "Jesus Be Our Spede 1608" cast by Willam Clibury, the other cast in 1748 by Matthew Bagley.
The walls are built from grey sandstone, local hand-made brick and ashlar, although some stonework from the earlier building has been incorporated.

Safeguarding

Our parish of St Peter's, Gayton, is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). Our Diocese of Lichfield’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSO. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the PSO or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services.
