St Peter's Church, Gothic Revival church in Dorchester, Great Britain
The church consists of a nave, chancel, and two aisles, with a west tower built in Portland and Ham stone ashlar with slate roofs.
The south doorway dates from the 12th century, indicating an earlier Norman church stood on this location before the current 15th-century structure.
Two 14th-century effigies of knights rest in the south chapel, while the north chapel contains a 17th-century sarcophagus of Sir John Williams.
The church opens daily for prayer, offering morning services on Mondays and Thursdays at 9:15 AM, with Sunday services at 9:00 AM and 10:30 AM.
During the 1855-1856 restoration period under architect John Hicks, religious services were temporarily conducted in Dorchester's town hall.
