Priory Church of St. Peter, Thurgarton, Medieval church in Thurgarton, England.

The Priory Church of St Peter features a north tower, a great west door, and preserved medieval arcades within its architectural structure.

Founded in 1119, the church belonged to the Augustinian Order until 1538 when Henry VIII's Dissolution of Monasteries led to its transformation.

Walter Hilton, a medieval canon at Thurgarton, wrote The Ladder of Perfection, a spiritual text that continues to influence readers today.

The church holds regular Sunday services at 10:30 AM, offering both in-person worship and virtual attendance options through Zoom platforms.

The church maintains one of the few remaining pre-Reformation stone altars, which displays original carved consecration crosses on its surface.
