St Peter's Church, Wallingford, Grade II* listed church in Wallingford, England.

The church features a Neoclassical design with an octagonal belfry, open-work spire, and a four-bay nave constructed from ashlar stone on a flint plinth.

After the original structure's destruction during the Civil War in 1646, the present church was built in 1773 under the supervision of architect Robert Taylor.

The south wall contains a memorial to Sir William Blackstone, who funded the clock face and rests in a family vault beneath the church.

Visitors can obtain access keys from the Tourist Information Office to explore the church, which remains closed during January and February.

The church tower displays clock faces on three sides while deliberately leaving the north side bare, creating an unusual architectural asymmetry.
