The Friends of St. Peter’s
s for everyone who is glad there is a Parish church in Wellesbourne, whether or not you come to church regularly yourself.
ts aim is to help maintain and develop the church building and churchyard to serve the people of Wellesbourne well today and into the future.
t. Peter’s is the largest meeting place in the village and an important building to many people in Wellesbourne. It receives no funding from any church or government body. So we are inviting you to join us to help to maintain and develop your village church.
