St Peter's Church, St Leonards-on-Sea, Victorian church in St Leonards-on-Sea, England
St Peter's Church is a Victorian church building constructed from red brick in St. Leonards-on-Sea. The structure features pointed windows, side aisles, and a two-bay chancel with alabaster cladding throughout.
Architect James Brooks designed the building in 1883 to serve the growing population of the area. Local builders John Howell & Son completed the construction in 1885.
The church serves as a gathering place for its congregation and the wider community. Its distinctive red-brick exterior and tall windows make it a recognizable landmark in the neighborhood.
The building is currently active as Sonrise Church, run by an independent evangelical congregation. Visitors should check ahead about opening hours and service times before planning a visit.
The interior holds an alabaster lectern and pulpit alongside a tall reredos from 1895 that displays a detailed crucifixion scene. These handcrafted elements demonstrate the skilled woodworking and stone carving typical of the Victorian era.
