St Peter’s Church
The traditional rural church of St Peter’s always gives a very warm welcome. It is often said that “nobody leaves before they have shared coffee”.
Nestled in the village of Monkton Farleigh this church is an essential part of the village community, offering a place of worship and social connection. The parish includes the village itself and the hamlets of Pinckney Green, Farleigh Rise and Farleigh Wick, which together have a population of about 400 people.
St Peter’s church has a close-knit congregation, enjoying traditional Church of England services. The church works closely with the neighbouring church of St James in South Wraxall, with services alternating between the two churches on a Sunday morning.
Churchfields, the village school maintains close links with St Peter’s and regularly come to the church for their end of term services and other special events throughout the year. Once a week, members of the church lead Open the Book and Collective Worship.
St Peter’s is a beautiful church in the heart of the village. The church is open every day for people to visit, for private prayer or simply to sit for a while and enjoy the peaceful space. It is available for weddings, funerals and baptisms. For more information, please visit our Life Events page.
