The Friends of St Peter’s Church Croydon
|
St. Peter’s Church was
built by the famous Sir George Gilbert Scott and was consecrated in
1851. For 150 years it has served as a spiritual focal point to the
people of South Croydon standing as it does on high ground with a spire
that dominates the skyline.
|
At
this present time we are having to raise large sums of money to pay for
urgent work for disabled access provision and toilets, rebuilding of
clergy vestry, and work on the church organ.
|
|
Aims |
| |
-
To
preserve St Peter’s Church for future generations
-
To
enhance and further develop the facilities at St Peter’s Church
-
To encourage the broadest connection between St Peter’s Church and the
wider community of South Croydon
-

country
