The Norman Church of St Peter in Portishead, Somerset, England, was built in 1320, on the site of a previous church, [1] and rebuilt in the 14th and 15th centuries in the Perpendicular Gothic style. In 1952 it was made a Grade I listed building. [2]
The vestry was added in 1828. [1] The church was altered in 1978–1979. It also has a new garden developed at the Millennium. [3]
The churchyard contains the war graves of three Royal Navy sailors and an airman of World War II. [4]
The building is located between Church Road North and Church Road South in the centre of Portishead with the four-stage tower rising to 94 feet (29 m), making a prominent landmark, with its set back buttresses and a pierced parapet. [2]
It has strong links with Christian primary schools such as St Peter's C of E.
