ST PETER`S CHURCH, CLAYWORTH
12th century church

Opening Times

 

 

YOUR CHURCH IS OPEN
The Parish Church is open on a daily basis, normally from sunrise to sunset. The building can be an oasis of peace in a busy world. Please feel welcome to make use of your church for prayer during these periods.

 

 Throughout the year there is a steady stream of visitors to the Church,  including people from Australia, New Zealand and Germany. We encourage tourists to stop a while to explore and enjoy our lovely village with its beautifully decorated ancient church, excellent pub ( serving meals), canalside and country walks.
