A masterpiece of 14thC architecture. Famous annual flower festival. A wonderful example of church architecture set amongst the peaceful village setting of Walpole St Peter.
We attract 1000's of visitors annually. St Peter's, known as 'the Cathedral of the Fens', is a large Perpendicular church, with huge windows, including a beautiful east stained glass window, numerous fine examples of carvings in wood and stone, many unique features such as 'the hudd', 'the bolt hole', the painted lower wood-screen, the magnificent Jacobean front cover, the high 'high' alter and fine medieval pews.
