St. Peter's Church and Tower
St Peter's Church, St Peter Street, Tiverton, Devon, EX16 6RP
Grade I listed building, 'a gorgeously ostentatious display of civic pride' (Pevsner). Notable for stone vaulted ceilings to the porch and Greenway Chapel and external carved frieze of merchant ships. Interesting main church interior with chest tombs, Mayor's Pew and splendid candelabra. A chance to see how the church has been changed in the recent re-ordering project. Enjoy a display about the bells and bellringing in the church or take part in one of the tours of the tower, clock, bells and demonstrations of bell ringing. If weather permits, the Tower roof, with town views and of Exe valley, will also be available as part of this tour.
St Peter's Society of Change Ringers is looking for new recruits to bellringing. This event is your opportunity to meet us, find out what's involved in learning and arrange a taster session to have a go at ringing.
