St Peter's Church Williton


As a Church of England School, we maintain very close links with St. Peter's Church, holding a Communion Service in school once a month, which Year 4 children attend.

The church has to be signposted as it hides away along a quiet cul-de-sac where you will also find The Bakelite Museum. It started as a chapel of ease to St Decuman's Church in Watchet, but at first glance appears to be entirely Victorian. It has a west porch and a bellcote, as well as a north porch. The west porch shelters a Tudor doorway and ancient door, and the windows of the south aisle were reused from the nave when the aisle was added in 1806.

Inside th church the south arcade has roughly cut circular piers and pointed arches, the rest is of 1858, although the east wall of the chancel with its Perpendicular window is also said to be original. Not much to detain the visitor long inside but the odd font is dated 1666 and is made of local pinkish alabaster from the cliffs at Watchet.
