St Peter's Church Kinver
St Peter's Church, Church Hill, Kinver, Stourbridge, Staffordshire, DY7 6HX
With an early Norman beam roof 15 metres high, a stained glass lantern over the font and a spiral staircase now going nowhere, our beautiful church has many unique features to explore. Adapted, altered and extended from the 13th Century onwards, St Peter's has become a beautiful space for congregation, community and visitors to enjoy with a sense of peace that is palpable. See the magnificent 19th Century stained glass window over the altar which floods the church with coloured light during morning services. Next to it is a 20th Century glazed screen by St Peter's own architect John Greaves Smith depicting the church sitting on the hill above the village. Our beautiful oak pulpit is 400 years old this year. You can take time to explore the churchyards and look directly down to Kinver High Street below with it's burgage plots, historic buildings and the beautiful Staffs. and Worcs. Canal running nearby. New for 2025: an exhibition of drawings and images of the construction of the North Aisle in 1974. Also just published - "Rock of Ages" - our new church guide edited by local author Martin Wall.
