A bit about the Church
St. Peter’s Church
St Peters church is the oldest surviving building in the parish. Dating to the 11th century and containing much re-used Roman building material, St. Peter’s stands isolated on a disused World War Two airfield ( RAF Swannington ) that was once the park to Haveringland Hall.
It has possibly one of the oldest round towers in the county. The rest of the church, including the top of the tower, was rebuilt in 1858, consisting of an aisled nave, chancel and big north and south transepts. The interior also mostly dates from the 19th century, however the font dates back to the 15th century.
The church is a Festival Church and a member of the Association of Festival Churches. Services are held here around six times per year and these tend to be celebrations of major festivals and community events.
