St Peter's Church, Stockport, Georgian Anglican church in Stockport, England
St Peter's Church is a Georgian parish church in Stockport, constructed in brick with a prominent three-stage western tower. The tower features a round-headed window above the entrance and an octagonal belfry at its upper level.
William Wright funded the original construction in 1768 to serve the growing local community. The building expanded significantly with a gallery added in 1838 and an apse in 1889, reflecting the evolving needs of its congregation.
The church connects with the wider community through its memorial tablets and welcoming spaces like its cafe. These offerings make it a place where local people naturally gather.
The building opens for services on Sunday mornings and Friday afternoons, allowing visitors to experience the interior during worship. A cafe operates on certain weekdays, providing a comfortable place to spend time in the space.
Inside is a 1769 Whitehurst clock mechanism, which holds the distinction of being the oldest working public timepiece in Greater Manchester. This 18th century mechanism continues to mark the hours, a remarkable survival of mechanical engineering.
