Church of St Saviour and St Peter, Grade II* listed Anglican church in Eastbourne, England
The Church of St Saviour and St Peter is an Anglican church built with red brick and decorated with Bath stone details in the Gothic Revival style. Its roof is covered with patterned clay tiles and its interior features elaborate stained glass windows throughout.
The building was designed in 1865 by architect George Edmund Street and completed in 1867 with support from local benefactors Harriot Manby and George Whelpton. When the nearby St Peter's Church was demolished in 1971, the two congregations merged into one.
The parish follows Anglo-Catholic traditions that shape how services are conducted and how the interior is arranged. You can see this reflected in the church furnishings and the way worshippers participate in daily prayer.
The building is open for visitors who want to explore its interior during regular hours. It is helpful to check opening times before your visit, as these can vary depending on services and events.
Inside there is a small chapel with a statue of St Peter that honors the parish that merged with this one decades ago. This quiet corner serves as a memorial to the local churches that came together.
