About Us

We offer a warm welcome to all who come to this place.

St Peter's Church is the parish church of Thundersley, located in Church Road on top of a hill which gives far-reaching views. It sits within a large, peaceful cemetery and is surrounded by many trees. Our large church field adjoins Coombe Wood, which has Village Green status.

The building

The church is Grade II* listed, dating back to the mid 1200s with earlier origins, being at least the second church built on this site. It has a large, airy and striking Civic Award winning 1966 extension, and can accommodate around 200 people.

The Parish Office and John Pond Room, which is used for various meetings including Junior Church, is opposite the church and is usually open weekday mornings. It was refurbished in 2015.

Our services

Our Sunday services are at 8.00am, mostly Holy Communion taken in the ancient part of the church, and 11.00am Sung Eucharist, which is held in the main worship area. Midweek services are listed on our services and events page.

Our halls

Our hall and car park complex consists of a large hall — unusually for these days, with a full size stage, perfect for productions and performances — and a smaller hall, as well as a large fully equipped kitchen, a lobby area with kitchenette, and a spacious store. The halls are used by many local organisations and serve the community very well.
