St Peter's Church is a grade II listed[1] Anglican church in the West Harrow area of the London Borough of Harrow,[2] in the Diocese of London.[3]
History
The founding stone of St Peter's was laid on 14 October 1911 and the church was consecrated on 1 April 1913.[2] The church was grade II listed on 19 December 1980,[1] but then closed in 1982 due to falling parishioner numbers.[2] However, the church re-opened in 1989 following a campaign by local residents.[2] This coincided with a refurbishment of the building, including a new floor by Ian Goldsmid.[4]
In 2014, Rod Green became vicar of St Peter's, before going on to become Bishop of Stepney in 2026.[5] The current vicar is Jon Lindsay-Scott.[6]
Architecture
The church was designed by G.H. Fellowes Prynne and built of ragstone.[4] It was originally intended that a spire be incorporated into the design, but this was not built into the final design.[7] The baptistry and lady chapel are built with stained glass windows, but all other windows are coloured glass in the arts and crafts style.[4] An opus sectile reredos was built for the lady chapel in 1920.[4]
