Britain's What's On Event Guide
Ayot St Peter Church Open Day
Heritage Open Day: Our church will be open all day for visitors to browse and take photographs. We will be selling home-made preserves and we hope for a fine day so visitors can enjoy the pretty and tranquil churchyard. Join us on Saturday 13th September for an opportunity to explore Ayot St Peter Church, an exceptionally complete and beautifully preserved Victorian Arts and Crafts church of 1875 by John Pollard Seddon. The church features mosiacs by Jesse Rust, the only church installation by Martin Brothers Pottery (Martinware) a carved stone pulput by Agnes Bonham and a fine painted ceiling in the apse. The church is described in the Simon Jenkins book 'England's Thousand Best Churches' (1999) and the latest edition of Pevsner.
As this year is the 150th anniversary of the church we will have a small display about the architect and the link between our village and the Arts and Crafts movement.
