We  invite you to make use of our ‘Poppy Cross Prayer Station’ as a place to lay a poppy, or tie a ribbon and say an individual prayer of remembrance. You can visit the Poppy Cross, situated at the top of St Peter’s  new churchyard, while out on your daily exercise between 8^th and 11^th November . 

Due to the current Covid-19 situation, very sadly we will not be able to hold  the usual Service of Remembrance in church.

Take part in St Peter’s Church poppy trail around the Churchyard 5th-11th November.
