About Us
St Peter's Church
The village of Burnham has a long history, it is listed in the Domesday Survey of 1086.
St. Peter’s Church is a Grade 2* listed building situated close to the centre of the village.
​
It has played an important part in local history for well over a thousand years.
The present building was built on the site of an earlier church a little over eight hundred years ago.
​
St. Peter’s is a very beautiful building and attracts a large number of families who use it for weddings, baptisms and funerals.
​
This gives us many opportunities to touch their lives through Christ.
​
Several regular members of our church family had their first contact when they came to be married or have a child baptised.
​
Our new vicar - Revd Josh Cleaver - came to us in March 2025 and the church was filled with people and a spirit of welcome - we look forward during this new season to seeing many people come to St Peter's to enjoy our amazing church and all that it has to bring to their lives, with the love of God.

Cornerstone is the extension that was added to St Peter's Church in 1986. It comprises the parish Office, two halls with a movable partition to create a single larger space, a well equipped kitchen with serving hatches.
