 St.
Peter's Church, Budleigh Salterton
St.
Peter's Church in Budleigh Salterton was consecrated in 1893 after a certain amount
of delay and problems in its construction. All the stone used came from quarries
in either Devon or Somerset, and the bricks used were from the local brickworks
at Otterton.
The design is of Early English type,
the plan is in the main cruciform having a nave of five bays. The floor of the
sanctuary is of polished marble and the first impression within the Church is
one of size and space which is not over-obstructed by the slender piers and lancet
arches. The addition of fine carved reredos in 1931 made
a dramatic feature in the East end. Nine mosaic panels depicting New Testament
scenes are positioned around the Nave and were added over a period of time in
the first half of the 20th century. Some minor changes
have been made to the immediate exterior of the Church in recent years but the
overall appearance is unchanged. The Peter Hall, adjacent
to the church can be booked for functions. We invite visitors
to join us at our services - for details of service times, please click
