St Peter's Church, Congleton, Georgian Anglican church in Congleton, England
The red brick church with stone dressings features galleries on three sides, Georgian box pews, and stone slate roof at Chapel Street.
The church replaced a decayed timber-framed chapel of ease to St Mary Astbury, with construction completed in 1742 and tower raised in 1786.
The east window contains mural paintings of Saint Peter and Saint Paul created by Edward Penny in the Palladian architectural style.
Visitors can access the church on Tuesdays from 10 AM to 1 PM between April and July, and Saturdays from 10 AM to 2 PM from March to October.
The church houses a 17th-century pulpit placed in the nave and includes a wall tablet showing a native kneeling by a palm tree.
