St. Peter’s, Portesham
St. Peter’s, Portesham
A pretty church in a pretty village. It is open and worth going in as there is plenty of interest here. The notice board only gives service details. Inside, there is a guide and postcards and some local history booklets – churches have an important role as centres of local history.
There was a brand new visitor’s book so this wasn’t counted. Folders detail the churchyard, World War 1 and 2 personnel and a history of this church and the neighbouring Corton Chapel and Langton Herring church – all part of the same benefice. Also some pictures and information about RNXV Portesham. Also some second hand books for sale. A prayer board can be used as well.
There is a small area for children to use which gets a mention on the church’s entry on achurchnearyou (http://www.achurchnearyou.com/portesham-st-peter/) this also confirms that the church is open during the week. I rate St. Peter’s as good.
