A very warm welcome to St Peter’s!  We continue the long tradition of worship here at the top end of the high street in Codford.  There has been a church on this spot since at least the 13th century, but there have been people here along the old road from Salisbury to Warminster since before recorded history.  Our lovely Saxon cross shaft (set in the chancel wall) certainly takes things back before the conquest: were our ancestors worshipping here when a certain Codda built a ford across the Wylye?

Today, we look to the future as well as celebrating our long history. Codford is now one large village with two historic parishes and churches, so every Sunday morning there are services at either St Peter’s or St Mary’s. At St Peter’s we have two Sunday morning services a month as well as extra services on special occasions; we are always delighted to host the Team Choir when they can join us. Our ring of six bells has been recently restored and is played every month.

The beautiful church building at St Peter’s is well maintained.  With an active Friends group, we focus equally on maintaining the historic fabric and making best use of the space.  We are currently restoring the stone pinnacles from the tower, while exploring ways to improve the hospitality space inside the church.

Whether you are new to the village or long-established, whether you are stationed here with the military or just passing through on holiday, you will be very welcome.

Do just join us at one of the services (the website is always up to date) or get in touch with one of us. People from across the village help out with everything from the Pimms & strawberries stand at the village fete to mowing the churchyard.

Our churchwarden Alasdair would love to hear from you.
