The Parish Church of St Peter

About

St Peter's Church is a protected Grade II listed Church of England parish church in the village of East Lavington, West Sussex, England. Situated on the northern slopes of the South Downs, the church is noted for its historic associations with the Oxford Movement and the Wilberforce family. The current structure was largely rebuilt between 1848 and 1850 by the Gothic Revival architect William Butterfield, commissioned by the then-Rector Henry Edward Manning. It remains an active place of worship within the United Benefice of Graffham with Upperton and East Lavington.
