St Peter's Church, Gothic Revival church in Preston, England.
St Peter's Church features a six-bay nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, and a southeast steeple constructed from sandstone materials.
Thomas Rickman and Henry Hutchinson designed the church between 1822 and 1852, receiving a grant of £6,765 from the Church Building Commission.
The church transformed into St Peter's Arts Centre in 1973, becoming part of Preston Polytechnic, now the University of Central Lancashire.
The former church building contains galleries on three sides and can accommodate 250 people for conferences or 80 attendees for theatre performances.
The southeast steeple, added in 1851, was funded by Thomas German, a Preston mayor who donated £1,000 and received a commemorative wall monument.
