St Peter's Church, Anglican parish church in Henfield, England

The stone structure features a 15th-century sandstone tower, two aisles from the 13th century, and a chancel with northern chapel and southern vestry.

Founded in 770 by Waerbald and Tidburg on land granted by King Osmund of Sussex, the church stands on the location of an earlier Saxon building.

The interior contains medieval murals, an octagonal font, and stained glass windows created by Charles Eamer Kempe and Frederick Charles Eden.

The church opens daily from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM and holds regular services on Sundays at 9:45 AM, with additional Wednesday gatherings.

The 19th-century restoration included the complete replacement of the south aisle, funded by local botanist William Borrer with architectural guidance from William Slater.
